“We’re crazy about this city. First time we came here, we walked the streets all day, all over town and nobody hassled us… Los Angeles? That’s just a big parking lot where you buy a hamburger for the trip to San Francisco.” – John Lennon

I left my heart in San Francisco . . . there truly is something about this city that draws one back to it over and over again. It is a beautiful city – one I love to visit but care not to live in. That’s because I’m just not a city girl. I’m a country girl at heart – but love the lights and the history of this golden city. I know it fairly well as I lived in the Bay Area for many years. On this particular day, hubby and I were out and about looking to shoot the sunset. We drove up in to the Oakland Hills, but were un-inspired. The sun was still above the horizon when we decided to dash the 1/2 hour to Treasure Island. It was well worth the effort. I think it must be one of the best vantage points for photographing the lights of San Francisco. We were a bit late for the good sunset shots . . . but this one I liked with the lights so crisp. That’s my shadow as I was attempting to get in to the shot. I had to clamber over some rather large boulders on the water’s edge . . . and finally just gave up and accepted this as my 365 shot.
