On Wednesday, I went to see a friend in San Francisco. We didn't have much of a plan, but we were thinking something like lunch and checking out the sunset at Land's End. My friend Gabby is a crazy-inspiring person. She has a lot going on in her life right now and actually kind of always does as a traveling, swimming (she just swam to Alacatraz!), pilot who is starting a company with her man. The day was like a breath of fresh air for the both of us. I won't write too much since the pictures speak for themselves.
Mile Rock Beach, Land's End
A-maze-ing rock pattern
Gabby walking through the maze.
Mussels
More mussels... and look at that hole pattern in the sand too.
Sand lines with golden hour lighting.
More sand lines.
A tree-like pattern.
Fractals, dude. It always amazes me how this pattern exists so commonly in nature. Blood vessels, trees, lightning, snowflakes, this repeating pattern occurs everywhere.
The view of the Golden Gate from Mile Rock Beach. You can see the mussels on the rocks here.
Never a bad sunset here.
The sunset getting more ridiculous.
View of the moon from Top of the Mark
We ended the night at Top of the Mark, the 19th story bar and lounge at the top of the Mark Hopkins Hotel. We wanted to sit with a view of the moon and at first we couldn't see it. After a few minutes, we saw it peek out from behind this building. We drank martinis while a jazz pianist played. Of course, the picture doesn't quite do it justice.
Such a good day and night.
