1. Yes, that looks very American, somehow. 🙂 🙂

   1. Or Australian… actually Australia is very American in a lot of ways. I know you have been to San Fran – did you go down to Fisherman’s Wharf?

      1. Sadly not been to San Fran- a major regret. You’re thinking of San Diego. 🙂 🙂

         1. I thought you’d been here too. Still time you know.

         2. Doesn’t feel like it, Jude.

         3. Oh, Jo, don’t hang up your wanderlust boots just yet. Bad enough I seem to have done.

         4. No real danger of that- just not long haul. 🙂 🙂 We went adventuring this morning and ended up in a tailback of traffic from an accident. Aborted adventure cos I had to be back for Rafa.

         5. Long haul is not much fun. Though once you get there it is amazing to have made the journey. If only I could sleep the entire way I’d be fine.

         6. I’d be ok- it’s himself! 🙂 🙂

         7. Same here. Still you manage to get him out and about over in Portugal so all is not lost.

         8. Got to do Coimbra for a few days. And I’m hopeful that we can go up to Porto to see Cathy after she’s done the Camino. I’ve put Azores on hold for next May/June as that’s the best time to go. 😦

         9. I wouldn’t mind the Azores and Madeira too, but who knows.

         10. Madeira is gorgeous! And easy! Get yourself there 🙂 🙂 Where would you fly from?

         11. Dunno. There are flights from Newquay to Faro in the summer, not looked where else they go to; Exeter and then Bristol are the next closest airports, 2-3 hours away. So much easier when we lived about an hour+ to Heathrow and Gatwick.

         12. Advantages and disadvantages! You’d best head for the Algarve xx

2. Looks a bit like Surfers Paradise

   1. You been to San Fran PP?

      1. Yes did a USA 6week explore 1992. Loved it

         1. Ah, six weeks must have been great travelling around. Did you use the Greyhound buses?

         2. We had a month delta air pass then 2 weeks greyhound. It was a memorable time

         3. I’ll bet.

3. Nice one, Jude.

   1. Thanks Carol. The lovely ‘golden hour’

4. It is all very ‘golden’ indeed. Nice time of day shot, Jude.
   Best wishes, Pete. x

   1. Just timed it right walking back to the hotel.

5. I love the title! You captured it beautifully 🙂

6. It’s amazing what the (right) sunlight can do to a picture, isn’t it?

   1. Late evening as the sun was setting and everything turned to gold. Light is all important to photography and forever changing what you see.

      1. I agree: the time of day is absolutely important.

7. Nice capture of San Francisco streets, Jude.

   1. I know a lot of people avoid Fisherman’s Wharf but I really like the atmosphere down there, plus you are right on the water and have views of both bridges if you walk along there.

      1. I like the atmosphere there too, Jude. It’s quite festive. I’ve been there a couple of times, in the early 80s and again in 2015. 🙂

8. Most golden….

   1. Truly was.

      1. 😊😊

9. I’m heading back there at the end of May/beginning of June. I’m really looking forward to it. 🙂

   1. Oooh, lucky you 🙂

10. Balmy evening light, positively glowing 🙂
