Friends finally got me to take the plunge down the steep hill below San Francisco’s Bay Bridge. I knew the view was stunning but I didn’t realize the view of the city was as stunning. San Francisco is one of the world’s more beautiful cities and is surrounded by magnificent suspension bridges that seem to adorn the city with steel lace. My favorite is still the Golden Gate Bridge but this view of the Bay Bridge holds its own. This was the easy part, heading on down to the beach level I understand is quite steep. The area is officially off limits but seems to be a common location for photographers. I was surprised that a recent fire form where this was taken hadn’t caused the closure of the area. This is one of those views that everyone should have access to.
