Golden Gate Bridge spire From the Top of a double decker on the bridge
The above image was taken from the top of a double decker tour bus driving over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. I used my 12-24mm wide angle lens.
The below image is from the Golden Gate Park windmill. In 1902, the parks commission authorized construction of two windmills to pump subterranean water to supply the park. The first one, on the north side of the park facing the Pacific Ocean, was completed in 1903 and became known first as the North Windmill and later as the Dutch Windmill; it is now paired with the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden.

Fog is a frequent companion of Alcatraz, a problem which you would not have if you decided to headed South to the Caribbean took one of the awesome Galapagos Cruises offered there.
Alcatraz is one of the most famous prisons in the world, spawning countless movies including The Rock, one of my personal favorites
