Trails in the Presidio
At a place they call "Land's End" at the mouth of the bay on the San Francisco side.
At the ruins of the old Sutro Mansion, looking South to Pacifica. Check out the windmill on the left, that's Golden Gate Park. That long stretch of Highway is called the "Great Highway" and is part of the route for the Nike Women's marathon. Half-Marathoners come out of the park and head to the beach for the finish. Full-Marathoners turn left and go down the highway and around Lake Merced before coming back the same way and finishing at the beach. The aid station that I've worked at for the past two marathons is on that highway.
Passing by the bridge on my way home. Finished in the cover of darkness.

ReplyDeleteIs this post supposed to tempt people like me to run races abroad? It's definitely working!
Man that looks so sweet! Man I miss the greenery around here. Spring needs to get it's butt over here already LOL
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable Rick! When I go running I look at dirt, dirt and then sometimes a little sand.

ReplyDeleteWow, it is nice to see some green foliage... :)
Beautiful pics! What kind of camera do you use?
ReplyDeleteHey Donald, I use a regular cheap digital snapshot camera, around $100. I own a Nikon now and the last one was a Nikon too. They're small and mostly made of plastic which makes them lightweight.
ReplyDeleteI run my photographs through Photoshop. Nothing crazy but I'm able to crop, increase or decrease contrast and brighten up some of the colors.
Rick, love the picture of the bridge.It's the kind of scene that makes me want to drop what I'm doing and pick up my colors and brush. Just amazing!
