Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: knob hill

I took this from the top of Knob Hill in San Francisco, on my first (and for the moment only) trip to California. What's most striking about this photo to me is not so much the view (the detail is limited by the small size of the print I scanned AND the crude camera), but the massive low-lying cloud layer and fog which was enveloping S.F. on this very early morning. It was like this every morning, and people say that it's normal out there.

Here's a shot taken slightly later, as the fog began to clear, which gives a much prettier view of the city itself, of course.

This is more like Picture 1, but it has better composition, I think, incorporating the tourist facilities like a brochure. :-) Actually, at a normal time of day, and not super-early in the morning as here, it would probably be much more crowded, especially with cars, and not as pretty.
