  • Tuesday, April 29

    I headed off after work Columbus to North Point to Van Ness to Francisco to Octavia to Chestnut to Lyon and into the Presidio.  I came around on Lincoln and then got onto Camino Del Mar in Seacliff.  I followed that up to the Palace of the Legion of Honor and got this awesome view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the golf course on the way up:

    I headed up to the museum and then down to Clement to Seal Rock to Point Lobos and down to the Great Highway.  I came down the coast where the wind was blowing and I was getting sandblasted and then headed down to Lake Merced.  I took Skyline to John Muir to Lake Merced.  I stopped to get a shot of the beautiful lake in the early evening light
    :

    And one of me with Daly City behind me:

    I continued on Lake Merced to Font to Holloway.  This is the view of the big antenna on Twin Peaks from Holoway and Junipero Serra:

    I continued on Holloway to Miramar to Eastwood to Wildwood to Plymouth to Greenwood to Staples to Edna to Flood to Circular to Diamond to Wilder to Arlington.  This house is at Arlington and Miguel.  It looks a little odd now.  I'm having trouble picturing what it must have looked like when it was built.  The roofline is very unusual for San Francisco and there's remnants of shingles on the building.  Hopefully somebody will restore it someday soon:

      

    This is the building across the street from it which is also really pretty but in pretty deplorable condition:

    I continued on Arlington to Randall to San Jose to 29th to Tiffany to Valencia to 19th to Dolores to 18th to Diamond to 17th and then home.
