Nearly home
Back in Vancouver now. Flying out to Sydney tomorrow evening. Just wanted to put in a couple of quick updates…
San Francisco
Spent a day at the San Francisco Zoo earlier in the week. Pretty good setup, next to the ocean. Most interesting for me was the big pussy cat enclosures. They use a moat instead of bars to keep the punters safe. So I was able to get some photos of a Lion lounging around waiting for his dinner… will post them when I get my website back up and running.
Also had a look at the Golden Gate bridge and took some snaps.
Next day was the Monterey Bay Aquarium which is very impressive. It’s like walking around an enormous lounge room with two story high fish tanks! No pics to speak of though.
San Francisco
Yesterday, Rob and I had a day out with the cameras so we went to SF again and spent the day shooting the touristy sites. Golden Gate from the other side, SF trolley cars, Alcatraz and we also stopped at a little place called Pacifica just south of SF. Had a bit of fun running around the middle of the road trying to get just the right angle, looking down the hill with trolley car in the foreground and Alcatraz in the background.
Pacifica Flagpole
I also got a bit of a thing going where I would try to fit in the ubiquitous American Flag with all my photo subjects. Wasn’t too hard, the yanks are a patriotic lot!
Hmm, that’s it for now. Next stop is Sydney and I’m going to sleep for a few days I think!
