Beautiful shot of the Golden Gate Bridge.
I love my phone when HDR works just right.
This is gorgeous.

Call it the Paris of the West, the City That Knows How, or even (shudder) Frisco — San Francisco is the city on the bay that no visitor ever forgets, whether it’s because of the sourdough bread, the heart-on-its-shoulder political activism, or that big ol’ red bridge. But the San Francisco you may know today wasn’t always the iconic city of the liberal literati, mighty spans, and Gold Rush memorabilia.

Adults on Big Wheels Race Down San Francisco Streets
When you just can’t wait the rest of the year for Bay to Breakers…
It was a most solemn and sacred day, and for some in San Francisco that meant one thing - time to don a bunny suit and race down Potrero Hill on a Big Wheel.
“It’s total chaos - everyone’s screaming and laughing, people are spinning out, going down backward,” said Alon Zaslavsky, a movie animator from San Francisco, just after he tried the course for the first time Sunday afternoon. “It’s great. The whole point is to crash.”
The 11th annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel derby attracted more than 2,000 celebrants to one of the steepest, curviest streets in San Francisco: Vermont between 20th and 22nd.
Anyone with a plastic, three-wheeled kids’ vehicle was welcome to participate. The event was free, but racers had to sign a waiver before careening down the hill - a 14.3 percent grade, according to one tourist guide - with no brakes, helmets or elbow pads.
The waiver’s nod toward potential litigation did not dampen the party. The street was a jubilant mix of beer, music, dogs, tamales, kids, friends and, of course, costumes.
There were prom queens, Evel Knievels, Easy Riders, Dorothys, Carmen Mirandas and church ladies.

Fresh Baked Cookies of the Day: The Fat Cookies business model is simple: Pull the string, attach a dollar, get a cookie.
Proprietors Eve, Kathleen and Clem, who bake the cookies in their second story apartment, got the idea from similar drug delivery methods employed on such crime dramas as HBO’s The Wire. Seeing as cookies are both drugs and drug paraphernalia, the analogy is more than apt.
If you happen to find yourself in San Francisco’s Dolores Park, you should definitely stop by.
