My photo of the Golden Gate bridge

Millions of shutters pay their obeisance daily to this amazing structure at various vantage positions to capture this bridge built way back in 1937.

Mahatma Gandhi at San Francisco!

Some people feel that our Gandhiji should be moved out of the parking lot to a more "prominent" location. However I feel that this parking lot is the best place because only when people walk around do they stop by and find out who this great man is. After all his greatness lay in his simplicity and so even gandhiji himself would have preferred the parking lot

Cable Car of San Francisco

These cars have been serving the city of San Francisco since 1873!!! While the cable cars have been pushed to oblivion in other cities in the world, San Francisco opted to retain them

An aerial view of Stinsen beach

Trust me, the beach is not photogenic!

A view of the Monterey bay

The Point Reyes lighthouse

This lighthouse protected mariners for almost 100 years from 1870. If you are anywhere in the north of California, then this place is a must visit. On a non foggy day the view of the lighthouse from the top of the hill is simply amazing! There are plenty of nice beaches nearby on the way to this place, which are almost empty , in case you need some extra privacy -;)
Again, the drive to the lighthouse is very scenic and very less inhabited.
