My View From Twin Peaks

My View From Twin Peaks

One of my favorite places to go is San Francisco. Just recently I have started my trip out by driving up to Twin Peaks checking out the view before heading in to the city. It never gets old it is so beautiful.

It all started when I brought a friend to the city who had never really "seen" the city. That is a great way to start by seeing it all at once. You can see from bridge to bridge and see all the islands (Alcatraz, Angel, Treasure and even Belvedere). Of course the best time to see it is on a clear sunny day but even on a cloudy day the city is beautiful.

The thing I like about this photo is the orange telescope. Orange is my favorite color as you will find in some of my other photos. See my Flickr photos...

This is one of many photos I took while my son and I were on a road trip to Portland, Oregon. We tried to hit every skate park from Santa Cruz to Portland. Some were big some were small but it did not matter to my son, he skated them all. Even if it was just for a few minutes he had to do it so he could say he was there. Most of them were not far off of Highway 5, but there were a few that were tricky to find. Newburg seen here was one of those that was in the middle of no where down a gravel road across some train tracks and there it was.
