It’s been a while since I hung out with one of my old friends, Tiffanie. We went out to Fort Funston to catch a little afternoon breeze on the beach.

The weather is kind of unpredictable out there—it was foggy when we first arrived, but cleared up later in the afternoon.

Parts of the beach had a really dark fine sand. For some reason, Tiffanie enjoyed playing with it.

I have to say, I’m really enjoying shooting with a 35mm. This photo was shot at f1.8.

Okay, so she had to use my camera to try shooting as well.

Here’s some breakfast at the a local favorite, Sweet Maple.

Gotta go with the eggs benedict.

And later for lunch, a little viet broth + assorted meats and noodles.

…and Lee’s coffee. This stuff is so addicting. But I have to stop drinking it on sunday afternoons.

Anyway, thanks Tiffanie for stopping by San Francisco to say hello. Good times.

I can’t believe a year has almost gone by since I’ve been out in CA. At this point, I have to start thinking about next steps. I can continue to live in my current apartment, but it’s pretty expensive. I may need to consider getting a roommate to reduce my rent.

Anyway, I also looked at an apartment complex out in Pacifica. I’m really digging the scenery.

There’s just something so gorgeous about this place. I talked to one of the tenants, and they said that they go surfing every morning before they work. There’s something to be said about this lifestyle.

The combination of the black sand beach, ocean and flowers makes this place feel like a slice of heaven.

The question is, will I be able to live with the commute. While it’s cheaper to live here, I’d have to do about a 40 minute commute each direction every day. I’m not sure if that’s worth the time. It may be better for me to live somewhere else and just take and uber out here on the weekends.

But man, this place is just incredible. Look at those flowers.

Anyways, what do you think? Worth the commute? I know annie said she likes it. Hah!

I spent the afternoon hiking around some new parks in San Francisco. I figured it was a nice day to get some fresh air. At the end of the day I was able to snag this photo

So, the afternoon started with me taking the metro and a bus to Diamond Heights.

I honestly didn’t know where I was going, so I just kept hiking. I took a little back yard trail for about a quarter mile.

The trail took me past a couple different neighborhoods. If you look closely, I think these are made of giant shipping containers.

When I finally arrived at the park, the landscape started opening up, revealing a miniature canyon (on the right).

It’s a nice trail, and makes for interesting photography because of the way the canyon casts a shadow.

Some of the rock formations were pretty cool… It’s almost like something you’d see in Skyrim.

As I walked through the park, I was chasing the light, heading west.

I finished Diamond Heights pretty quickly, and figured I could catch some more pictures on Mt. Davidson Park. Little did I know, it was one hell of an incline to get there. Some of those hills were pretty brutal.

As I got near the top, I saw an MG in excellent condition. Whoever owned this really took care of it.

And when I got to the top of Mt. Davidson, I waited for an opportunity to snap a pic of San Francisco at night.

Here’s a panoramic of 10 stitched photos looking east-ish.

And that concludes my hike. I took the bus and metro home. It’s pretty easy to get to, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to check out the skyline at night, as an alternative to Twin Peaks—it’s less crowded at Mt. Davidson.

I’ll be back in the future to capture the sunrise. Stay tuned!
