View From Knob Hill, Picture 1, San Francisco, CA, USA, 1993

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.
