Amazing pics!
 i been there first time  14-15 years ago working on cruise ships, we used navigate under the Golden Gate bridge and dock the ships close the famous Chocolate Factory. I been hauling freight also from Canada to SF, and  otw back produce from Salinas,Watsonville , but i had enough with west coast:crazy traffic always on I-5, nasty DOT inspections,speed limit 55mph for trucks in CA and expensive diesel.

Do you have a UV filter on the camera?  If not, consider trying one out for shooting pics from the air.  With a little photoshop work on the colors, some of those pics would be stunning.

Haha nope, it's just a little Cannon point and shoot (SD1100).. Great little camera for $200 bucks!

Whatever else you may say about it, San Francisco and its surroundings are gorgeous.  Makes it so a great many people want to live here and our houses are so freaking expensive.
