Fully decked out in glitter body paint, and dancing without a care in the world! The Bay to Breakers is an annual foot race across San Francisco - from the Bay on the East Side to the Ocean on the West Side (ending at the Breaker Walls). Running since 1906, it peaked at 110,000 participants in 1986. While there is a serious race with prizes, most run it for fun in costume. ©2023 Brian G Fitzgerald; Contact Brian@biker1337.com

The wind is so constant and strong at Point Reyes that the cypress trees grow at an angle. Always fun to walk the path under them. The building in the foreground provides 4 apartments for Park Rangers.

Battery Construction 129 in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Normally a commanding view of the Pacific and San Francisco, the fog creates an eerie effect. This is at the top of Hill 129, now known as Hawk Hill. It’s a WW II coastal defense gun emplacement that was never completed. Thankfully, it was never needed.
The old wharf footings at Davenport Landing. Four of the pier structures had survived into the 2000's. By 2017, there were three. And now, only two. If you are planning to visit, make sure to go at low tide and know that it is a treacherous climb down to the beach. There are generally a couple of ropes left in place to assist with the climb - make sure they are in good shape and well secured before you use them.
