Sausalito = (Art + Beauty)++

That’s the techie way i would describe the town of Sausalito.

It’s a small town by the bay, north of Golden Gate Bridge. History says that this place started as an artists’ colony. Well most of that is visible in the way this small city has been decked up.

Now think of a town, so small that you can walk from end to end through the heart of that place, before you even finish reading this line.

Ok, may be that was an over-exaggeration, but the town area is less and the rest of the place is mostly residential. But it packs enough beauty which makes you want to spent a whole day there. The place now has a very Italian taste to it, both with the people and the cuisine.

After the view of the bay from the street, the main attraction of this place include –

  • The Harbor Walk
  • The ferry ride to Ferry Building, San Francisco
  • The Yacht Club

If you’re in San Francisco, take the ferry ride to this small town it’s worth a visit, by all means. During the ferry ride don’t forget to get a glimpse of Alcatraz Island and a breathtaking view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Golden Gate Bridge must be photographed! You can’t resist it!

It was last Saturday that we, my roommate and me, decided to go to Golden Gate Bridge and couple of other places in San Francisco. To be frank this geek has seen enough and more photos of the Golden Gate Bridge, that visiting the bridge was one of my last items in the ‘When at San Francisco’ to-do list. But either way having nothing much to do for the day, we decided on that small ‘get-you-ass-out-of-house’ plan. Now that photography has become my immediate hobby, the camera follows me to all places except a few, that i guess by now you would’ve guessed.

Yes, it’s the most photographed bridge in the world. Given that fact, i was wondering how much of different snap could i take from what has been already taken? Well there were a few shots that i could’ve taken by risking my life or falling into frigid waters below – I opted not to. But nothing could prepare me for the view from the hill adjacent to the bridge, it begs to be photographed.

There were a lot of people at that spot, everyone had a camera in their hand, and i was quite proud that i had the best camera. Yes just the best camera but not the lens for the job. All i had was a 18-105mm kit lens that came with my D90. There was a guy who was having a D3000 with an even more ‘gigantic’ lens. But i did make the best out of what i had.
