What is it about standing so high above the city’s skyline that seem to give us a sense of jubilation and power? I guess it’s easy to imagine delusions of grandeur when it feels like we’re towering over a miniature Atlantis. Perhaps, we are jealous of the fact that God gets to see scenes like this on a daily basis and if we are lucky enough, so can we.
It’s even more special when you come upon such a site quite unexpectedly. I was on a tour bus in San Francisco when the guide told us we would be stopping to see the view from Twin Peaks. “Nice”, I thought. “Let’s see what we’ve got.” I wasn’t quite prepared for such a heavenly view. I imagined that this would be the perfect place for me to have a house constructed on that very spot so that I would have the joy of looking out at this everyday.
But then, there’s my fear of heights…..

That’s a really beautiful view of San Francisco from the Twin Peaks.

Gorgeous shot, Renee! Even though I’ve done it dozens of times, no trip to San Francisco is complete without a trip up to Twin Peaks for the view.

That was my first and last time there, Michael….which means, I’m due for another go round!

Ha! That is a great view of San Francisco! You are lucky that it wasn’t a foggy day. When were you there? Normally, you see beautiful days like this during part of the summer and mainly late September and October.

Thanks, Jeremy. It was in May 2005…..one of the best things about the trip was the airfare that I was able to get: $98.00 RT ATL-SFO! Woot, woot!
Fantastic view. Been to SF a few times – it’s such a likeable city. Never made it up to Twin Peaks so the best views I got were from Coit Tower.
That’s quite a view! I’ve never been to twin peaks in San Fran.
