Another image from Stinson Beach with the same faced, dreamy, over exposed colour scheme. Almost funny that it took a DSLR in my hand to notice these structures…

Hyde Street Pier 5, SF 2013
So much of San Francisco’s early days were based on the proximity to the sea and the coming and going of sailing ships. For instanse, some of the present land is landfill based on abandoned ships, deserted by the crew who left the ships to stay in the rapid growing city.
Hyde Street Pier 1, SF 2013
Time for a few details from Hyde Street Pier. This pier is one of the first ones you pass when you walk from the end of the Powell-Hyde cable car line and walk down Fisherman’s Wharf. If you turn your attention away from the souvenir shops you might notice the grand old sailing ship by the pier, but not that many knows this is a museum.
The pier hosts a range of historic ships and is a national historical park. You can walk around the pier for free and if you want to board the ships, it’s free for kids under 16 and only $5 for adults – good for seven days. Now that is a good deal! Here’s the website: http://www.maritime.org/hours.htm
A useful tip: there are free public toilets here – a rare thing at Fisherman’s Wharf.
