The fog was constantly moving and changing shape. Only for brief moments would there suddenly be a clear view of the downtown skyscrapers - and it was so cool!! Then they would be obscured by fog once more.

View from Twin Peaks to the evening skyline of San Francisco.
Our last morning in San Francisco, I went out early to photograph the sunrise from Telegraph Hill. I arrived there when it was still dark, and was able to enjoy the morning's show! This included a light trail from a plane taking off from San Francisco International Airport.

A view of the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. I used to drive across this bridge daily. Fortunately, on October 17, 1989, I was working in the East Bay, and actually came home from work early (to watch the baseball World Series between teams from Oakland and San Francisco). Shortly after 5 pm, a large earthquake struck, causing considerable damage, injury and loss of life. It was the strongest earthquake I ever experienced. A portion of the eastern section of the Bay Bridge collapsed that day, along with a double decker freeway (known as the Cypress Structure) in Oakland (which I also regularly used). Just goes to show you how quickly life can change. Photos of the damage to the bridge and freeway can be seen in the article on Wikipedia. The collapse of the Cypress Structure accounted for more deaths than any other incident during the earthquake. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquake.
San Gimignano is a small walled medieval hill town in the province of Siena, Tuscany, known as the Town of Fine Towers.
San Francisco, "The City by the Bay" covers only 47 square miles (121.4 km ) and has a population of less than 900 thousand, but it ranks as one of the greatest cities in the world. A popular tourist destination, it is known for its cool foggy summers, steep rolling hills, eclectic architecture and landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, the former Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, Fisherman's Wharf, and its Chinatown district.
It was founded in 1776 by colonists from Spain who were sent to establish religious missions in the New World. In 1821 after the Mexican War of Independence against Spain, it became a territory of Mexico until 1846 when it was ceded to the United States. The California Gold Rush of 1849 brought rapid growth, making it the largest city on the West Coast at the time. In 1906 most of the city was destroyed by an earthquake and fire, but it was quickly rebuilt. It was a major port of embarkation for service members during WWII.
San Spirito build from 1444 to 1487; design by Brunelleschi (1434-1482)., Antonio Manetti and Salvi di Andrea build the church using Brunelleschi design of the dome (see also photo of Pazzi chapel). The campanila was added in 1571.
My last Volcano of my series. Volcán San Cristóbal is the highest volcano in Nicaragua at 1,745 m (5,725 ft). Located near to the northwest corner of the country, it forms a majestic backdrop to the city of Chichigalpa, Chinandega. It is also among the most active volcanos in Nicaragua, erupting frequently (if gently).
San Cristóbal is part of a 5-member volcanic complex that bears the same name. Chonco lies 4 km to the west, and Moyotepe 4 km to the north east. Joined to the volcano's eastern flank is Volcán Casitas, which buried a village with a catastrophic landslide in 1998. The scars from said landslide are still visible today. Finally, La Pelona is located on the eastern end of the complex.[1]
