Surf fisher
It may have been a while since I’ve mentioned how much I like to go to San Francisco, so maybe it’s time to bring that topic up again!
On my most recent trip, two years ago, we stayed near Union Square. One morning, we caught the bus over to the coast, and hiked the Lands End trail. The day was cool and misty, and the low clouds completely obscured the (I assume) fantastic views of the Golden Gate Bridge. But it really didn’t matter, as the views down to the ocean were pretty good on their own. We went as far as the ruins of the Sutro Baths, which was crowded with people climbing all over the (somewhat smelly)(and slippery) ruins.
And, that’s where I saw the surf fisher. I don’t know if he caught anything: I was more than a little mesmerized watching the lacy patterns in the waves.

I have a rather inadvertent series going, with photos taken from various hotel rooms. This one, in San Francisco, is from the Westin Market Street, looking generally toward Union Square. But I’ve also got St. Petersburg, Florida; San Diego, California; Plano, Texas; and Washington, D.C.
I guess it might look like I never leave the room, but I really do. I promise!

Look! It’s a sculpture of one of those things. You know the ones I mean – the white ones!

Happy 75th birthday, Golden Gate Bridge!
(My dad, who is 88, told me recently that his decision to become a civil engineer was, in large part, influenced by hearing stories about the construction of this bridge.)
