Very beautiful, it couldn't be better with sun. I love the soft fog and the green foreground.

Christine, Kathleen, Tammy and Donna, thank you all for viewing my new work and kindly commenting on it! Although I didn't get any sun at all, I got beautiful mist that probably adds more feeling.

Tammy, I'm sorry you had a scary experience in SF. But there are nice people like me also :)

You are very nice. :) Just the tall buildings downtown all closed in and all those cable wires well made me nervous. My boyfriend tried to make me go across the Golden Gate and I am terrified of bridges and heights and a tree kept following me and telling me he was gonna get me when I came back from walking to pier 49..LOL All kinda funny really. Then went to China town. That is some experience! I would come back, to say the least it is very interesting there! I loved the sea lions :)

A tree followed you? Is that like an apple tree in "The Wizard of Oz"? I sort of understand your feeling. When I was new in San Francisco, I felt like I was not in Kansas anymore :) But I love this city now.

Well I think it was a homeless person dressed up with tree leaves all around him so he looked like a tree sitting on the sidewalk..lol My mother actually heard something about him on the news after I told her about him when I got home from my vacation!

That sounds wild! The homeless man with tree leaves scared you and he was on TV news also? That sounds like San Francisco all right :)

Mizuno-san,
Very beautiful as usual.
I am always at a loss when I saw your photos. Because I find I have so little English words to describe your pictures.

I should study English harder.

OMG, I missed this one before...!! Incredibly nice shot! (So you didn't get Sunrise there! I am at East coast, I went for the sunrise photos one day in October. Surprising number of people were there!)

You've got a great eye, I've been in this exact spot but didn’t have a camera at that time, and you did a great job of capturing the feeling of standing there.
