America: San Francisco

San Francisco is a very unique and beautiful city. The weirdest thing for me was getting used to the very steep streets. Driving upwards I sometimes couldn't see anything ahead but the sky, making the driving somewhat challenging. On the other hand, driving down a hill, especially when headed for the bay, gave me a beautiful scenic view.

Things to see here include the harbour with some historical ships

 

Alcatraz

China Town

The Asian Art Museum with its marvels

 

Lincoln Park and the Japanese Garden

Presidio, where the scent of of the giant cypress trees hangs in the air

and Baker Beach with a good view on the Golden Gate Bridge and the spectacular sunsets

 

For more and much better pictures of San Francisco, I reccomend following the resident photographer Dave on Instagram. Here are some samples of his work:
