Also on this trip I spotted a spider in its web. Near the panorama tower in San Francisco.
The picture does not have good focus. That because a woman just opened the door and shouted the second before the shutter went off. I got a bit suprised... Funny girl!
Alcatraz. Poeple were swimming along the piers.

Beatiful sunset. Unfortunately I did not have the tele lens on when the birds passed the path to the sun. I made it loke like a painted picture instead due the lack of sharpness.

Hollywood sign. The house owners in this residential area can't be very happy. The GPS took us this close and we were not alone there. Very smal and curvy roads.
