Photo Journal/ A-Z Photo Story Challenge: L is for Lands’ End, San Francisco

It’s Tuesday in our part of the world. Time for us to join Frizztext’s A-Z Photo Challenge. Letter this week is L, and I choose to feature the photographs that my husband and I have taken from Lands’ End, in San Francisco.

I am very fortunate to have a good friend who lives in San Francisco who would make each one of our visits exceedingly special. She was the one who introduced me to Green Apple the first time we visited San Francisco in 2009, brought us to Baker Beach, and the Palace of Fine Arts (among others). She brought me to De Young Museum in 2010 and introduced us to Philz Coffee and Paulette’s French macarons early in 2011. When we visited this year, she brought us to this Food Truck Festival that happens once a week in their lovely city and indulged me yet again to pay a short visit to Green Apple. I recalled that in January 2011, she also brought us hiking to Lands’ End. Here are a few of our pictures from that brief walk/hike in this fantabulous city.

“All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.” 
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

“The stones were sharp,
The wind came at my back;
Walking along the highway, 
Mincing like a cat.”
