The Golden Gate Bridge

The coldest Winter I ever spent was the Summer I spent in San Francisco.
—Mark Twain

The Goldengate Bridge is 1.7 miles long and can sway 27 feet in all directions due to the strong winds.

Chinatown

My hotel was on Nob Hill. about 3 blocks from Chinatown and went there 3 times. The first time I went there was to see the place, the second time I went back for dinner at a place someone in my hotel suggested (awesome meal BTW. I went a place called Hunan Homs for dinner) and the third time I went to photograph Chinatown at night. I want someone to explaine something to me about San Francisco, Chinatown was only about 3 blocks from my hotel and it was all uphill walking but going back to my hotel was also an uphill walk, why is that?

SFMoMA

I went to The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA as it's called) right after visiting The Golden Gate Bridge. They have this huge skylight that's oval shaped with a grid in it and on sunny days this sky light makes the coolest shadow patterns on the walls inside SFMoMA.
