The Golden Gate Bridge: Still Awesome at 75

May 272012

Sydney has the Opera House. Paris has the Eiffel Tower. And San Francisco has the Golden Gate Bridge. It may not be the only long suspension bridge in San Francisco, but it is certainly the most famous and, therefore, the most celebrated.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I visit a new city, I always make it a mission to get at least one really great shot of that city’s skyline. It must be the small-town, country girl in me that’s always fascinated by the fact that other places even HAVE skylines (because we certainly don’t have them in rural Ohio…). And, even though San Francisco isn’t a huge city, it DOES have a pretty recognizable skyline, with the 853-foot Transamerica Pyramid at its center. So, …Read more…

After visiting a bunch of amazing areas and national parks across America last summer, I really thought I had seen the best. Arches. Monument Valley. The Grand Canyon. What could possibly top those?

I usually reserve this full-size photo layout for my Photo of the Day posts. But Yosemite National Park is just …Read more…

Now that I’m back in school, though, I haven’t had the time to do those round-ups each week. However, I kind of miss them! Sure, I can retweet my favorite posts on Twitter or share them on Facebook.

An Ode to San Francisco Street Art

May 172012

I’ve never really been crazy about street art like some other travel bloggers I know, but it was really difficult to not be impressed by the sheer amount of colorful, evocative murals scattered all around San Francisco. This city, which has been a hotbed of passionate cries for freedom and love for decades, oozes with feeling — much of it expressed through street art. And we’re not talking your ordinary graffiti tags here, either. We’re talking real art. Here, then, are photos of some of …Read more…
