Skywatch Friday: Pier 39

You can see Alcatraz in the background of this picture.


More pictures from my San Francisco trip for Skywatch Friday.

These were taken on Pier 39 in San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. Yes, I was a tourist for a weekend. What of it?

If I don't think about it too hard, these pictures are almost soothing. Then I just htink the word "alcatraz" and my mind goes back to it's normal violent thoughts.

I've always been fascinated by Alcatraz for some reason. Great pics! Love the last one.

Hi Floreta,

Such a beautiful floral name. Your skies are looking down in tranquility to watch those yachts and boats mooring quietly. They look even more vast and endless as you sail along on the water. Along comes the feel of the breeze and the salty tingling sensation. Hmmmm brings back some good memories of my sea travels. Good and bad but the Good experience stays.

Thanks for the visit.

I made the trip over to Alcatraz many years ago. It was so interesting. I love the Bay area.

Great shots Flor! I love the 2nd one down!

AKO said...

Oh, these are really nice pictures! I like them all but choose the middle one as a favourite. I like the colour of the water and the clouds floating by in the sky.
