Fog Over Grand View
Last Sunday I was walking around Grand View Park in the Sunset district of San Francisco. Grand View is one of a few hill-parks in the area, it is a tiny space where you get to climb stairs (or a dirt road, depending which side you come from) to the top of a little hill and watch the sunset from the single bench at the summit. This time around, we didn’t get to see the sunset. It was foggy and raining. An interesting experience actually – I am quite used to driving from one climate to another, living in the Bay Area I get to do quite a bit of that, but this is the first time in a while that I walked something like 300 yards to a different climate. At the bottom of the hill, it was nice and calm. At the top, it was all fog, rain, and bitingly cold wind. I snapped a few shots quickly before Marina (my partner in crime) froze to death. I think this came across well in the photo – to me she looks like she came right out of a fairy tale of some sort, a sad and lonely one.
Spectacular place. We’ll be back.
