Making my way down the left coast. The weather in the San Fran area was just a bit yucky.

The weather along the west coast is either good or bad, looks like you got low clouds and fog. No matter, some fine captures and a good landing in Oakland. :cool: :cool:

I RW flew in and out of the San Francisco area for several years. And a truly good day was considered "yucky!"

 

I served for several years on the National Ski Patrol. Planning for and dressing for the temperatures at 8K feet or more in the US and in the Alps, I was fine. But I didn't know or begin to understand the concept of cold until I watched some night baseball games at Candlestick Park in mid July or August!!

 

Nice shots! Michael

Nor could I or Mark Twain!! Hence he and I both moved back home.

I went to several games at Candlestick, and yes, cold doesn't describe. On one August afternoon I learned that you also wear pants and bring a sweatshirt. I bought the grossest cup of hot chocolate ever, and held on to it with dear life as the nasty brown liquid kept my hands and stomach warm. I used to love San Francisco, and in some ways always will. But having lived in quiet rural settings for the last 20 years, going there now is quite stressful. No elbow room anywhere.
