San Pablo Bay (north end of SF Bay), Richmond-San Rafael Bridge; Sacramento – San Joaquin River Delta stretching east from San Pablo to the Central Valley & Sacramento, with snow-capped Sierras in the distance; Mt Tam, Mill Valley, Sausalito & Marin County bottom right as we flew over on 16 April during that long, photo-productive approach to SF :-).
San Bruno Mountain on the left, marking the southern border of SF City & County; the ridges in the middle right are Mt Tamalpais in Marin County just north; and of course the city of SF on the far right middle. From my flight out of SF to Pittsburgh a bit more than a week ago.
City & County of SF in the foreground; Marin County on the far side of the GG Bridge, and bits of at least Alameda & Contra Costa counties on the eastern side of the bay (top right).
Tomales Bay, with Point Reyes Peninsula on the other side and its mouth to Bodega Bay to the right in the second photo below. For those who don’t know the region: the San Andreas Fault runs right down the middle of this bay, and the peninsula is measurably moving away from the shore from which I took the photo by inches each year. 🙂
Bottom right corner here in Mt Tamalpais and Marin County; right middle you can see the Golden Gate Bridge and SF. I’m reasonably confident that in addition to the clouds, you can also see a few lines of snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountain ranges in the middle below the couds. I’m even more confident that there are snow-capped Sierras in the distance of the photo below, which also shows Clear Lake to the north and west of my old Sonoma County home, once the skies below our plane had cleared enough for me to take photos as we approached SF nearly two weeks ago.
We’re at the airport as I set this post up – final views of the GGB taken yesterday (below) and a week ago (above) while visiting. This’ll publish while I’m in the air, early Tuesday Amsterdam time, late Monday SF time. Cheers ’til next we see each other, folks 🙂
Admit it: your first thought is this is part of some crumbling old building’s brick wall, right? Wrong! You’ve already seen another angle on this item, in a post last month, here: https://somuchworldsolittletime.com/2021/01/01/12443/#jp-carousel-12467
