Lands End
Saturday morning at Lands End in San Francisco.
We meet again!
Early last October I made a day trip to San Francisco, via Amtrak train and Muni buses, to explore Fort Point and to seek out the western terminus of the Lincoln Highway. I wound up walking 10 miles that day, and I came home with 82 pictures on my camera’s memory card. All was well — until I lost every […]

The Adventure Continues… Crissy Field
San Francisco is full of so many great places to explore, and I have to admit that Crissy Field is one that I’ve passed by a few times but never found time to check out. In this 2003 episode of California’s Golden Coast Huell discovers the past, present, and future of this piece of land along San Francisco Bay. Crissy […]

You could spend the day at Playland-at-the-Beach, just across the street from Golden Gate Park; Playland shut down in 1972, and […]
Legion of Honor
I didn’t go inside the Legion of Honor on my recent San Francisco trip, although I’d love to explore this art museum someday. This time I had to be content with the view from outside, which is pretty impressive all by itself.
Sign language
I love shooting commercial signs, especially the old-style neon ones. My favorite vintage neon sign was at a roadside motel in Clear Lake, California. I’m so glad I photographed it in 2017, because when I went back in 2019, it was gone! It’s tough to find these old neons around my neighborhood, but San Francisco is full of them, along […]
