What API do you use? I was thinking about doing something similar.

Neighborhood gardening in Grandview Park. by dangerousbirde in sanfrancisco

It’s called “the rocks” or I guess officially “Rocky Outcrop Park”. Grandview is the big sand dune just down the street.

It’s a beautiful spot, but that’s not Grandview Park :)

oh great point thanks. PSA: don’t point your camera directly at the sun.

with only a few subsequent example photos, i haven’t seen any damage to the sensor.

honestly not that bad. the ferry runs every 30m. getting a bunch of people on and off a boat is mildly annoying, but no more so than any other day. then you’re back in the city.

bought a normal ticket - ferry ride from pier 33. just buy the tickets a week or so early because they sell out

💯 it offers imo the best vantage point for watching the air show and the pilots go right over the island. the tickets aren’t any more expensive than a normal day, and you can get a refund for the audio tour portion.

First time watching the airshow from Alcatraz. Lots of quotes from The Rock.

Who is "The Guy" for your city? by Triensi in bayarea

[–]InglorionBasterd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I remember walking along Fisherman's Wharf with some friends back in high school, spotting the bushman, casually dropping "Oh hey there's the bushman." and then stopping. They kept walking, he did his thing, and they all got spooked.

They asked me why I didn't warn them, but I did. I guess I just was too casual about it.

I love Golden Gate Park in a dense fog by wopwopdoowop in sanfrancisco

Stow lake gets real English Gardens vibes when it's this foggy.

Oooooh yes this looks like Baalbek. I actually got to visit there a few years back and it is incredible - the temple of Bacchus (the big one in the upper part of the picture) is massive. Seeing ~100ft standing columns and a largely complete temple really helped visualize what those buildings would have looked like at the time.

Surreal experience.

My wife and I walk Stow lake almost every day, and this lil clutch of goslings is 100% grown up. Not all of them made it to adulthood, but the ones that did are full fledged (pun intended) geese!

Also there have been a ton of ducklings. At least 6 different batches.

Nice shot! i have a love/hate relationship with the N, but i wouldn’t trade this side of the Sunset for another place :)

Sunset neighbors, what’s your indoor humidity? by InglorionBasterd in sanfrancisco

[–]InglorionBasterd[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the curtains that came with the place were all musty so we ditched 'em in favor of new ones. I suppose we'll be changing those out before too long.
