San Francisco capture in pictures. San francisco, California is considered a photographers paradise by many who live in the San Francisco Bay area. Being a resident of this area, I have done my part of trying to capture this beautiful city with my camera. Even though I cannot do enough justice of portraying its beauty, I have tried to present some of the sights in San Francisco. Wherever possible, I have tried to add some blurb about these different places in San Francisco with help from wikipedia.org
The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the “golden gate”, the opening of the San Francisco Bay onto the Pacific Ocean

Alamo Square “Six Sisters” (or) “postcard row” (or) “Painted Ladies”. Present at the intersection of Hayes and Steiner Streets.
Alcatraz Island – also called as “The Rock”, this is a small island located in the middle of San Francisco Bay. It served as a lighthouse, then a military fortification, then a military prison followed by a federal prison until 1963.

Pinochy, I have no clue as to hy Google reader did not update the new post!
)…etc.
Anyways, I love the look. And for the nth time, great pictures, have always loved your work.
A few suggestions:
-Title for your blog.
-SF is spl, cos even after a few hundred visits, it surprises a person with a different perspective. So break it down in to parts. SF-Golden Gate, SF-Coit Tower. And the blurb can be YOUR view of the place like the location from which the picture was clicked, the local pizzeria/bakery/icecream shop where you enjoyed something, what would be the best way to reach the place shown in photograph, parking tips(we all know this will be greatly appreciated

utbtkids, Thanks for the feedback. This is kind of what I am expecting from experienced bloggers like you. The biggest problem is that some of these are snaps that I took a long time back. But I sure can add more information as you suggested. Maybe even make this into a separate category and do justice to each of the unique aspects of SF.
