California Day 7: Capitola, Santa Cruz, Pescadero, Half Moon Bay & San Francisco

Today was quite a quiet day... we didn't have anything to actually visit, but we only needed to reach San Francisco. So we decided to stop in every town we liked. The first was Capitola, a little ocean town with a nineteen century taste. Next was Santa Cruz with its amusement park (closed) on the boardwalk front beach. A little detour from the Highway 1 took us to Pescadero, a farm village older than 100 years. Then was Half Moon Bay and the beaches around with all the surfers (I posted a picture took in Capitola, since the ones I took in Half Moon Bay were made with the reflex camera). Half Moon Bay itself was interesting: a tiny village on one side of the highway and an huge and uber-rich golf club (with an impressive hotel on the cliff upon the ocean) on the other side... We arrived in San Francisco at 5 p.m. and we decided to take a free tour (means I didn't use the travel guide): I took pictures here and there, when a building captured my attention...













Tomorrow: San Francisco

The Flatiron Building was for sure in New York. I don't know if this one has the same name, I took the pic since I liked it, not because it was a particular landmark.

My father was a photographer when he was young, so maybe he passed me some gene... he died when I was too young to learn from him, so I self-taught myself.
