The first in the San Francisco series. What an amazing city - I hardly got any time to explore but what I did see was fascinating. The architecture was just stunning. So nice to see a US city where all the houses don't look alike.

And I didn't even have to post-process this pic. It is literally straight from the camera.

If you like San Francisco, you should see Seattle. I remember staying in a residential neighborhood there, and no two houses looked alike on the same block. For example, there was an alpine chalet next to ranch, next to a colonial duplex. It gave the feeling that people were moving to the city from all over, and each knew how to build one kind of house, so they built the kind of house they had "back home".

Oh, and if you do make it to the residential parts of Seattle, go hunting for the troll under the bridge. It's near the RedHook brewpub (or was, when last I visited).
