Aerial Photographs of the SF Peninsula, September 4, 2002

This was the clearest day we'd had in a few weeks, and I wanted to try out my new camera with some aerial shots. Photos taken with a Nikon N65 and Kodak Gold 200 film.

Near downtown Palo Alto, this is the City Hall building



The intersection of Alma and University in Palo Alto



Hoover Tower on the Stanford campus



Filoli Mansion, at the southern tip of Crystal Springs Resevoir



Half Moon Bay. The road coming from the left is highway 92, and the road it intersects at the top center is Highway 1.



Ocean Beach and the Cliffhouse restaurant in San Francisco



The Golden Gate Bridge, of course



Another Golden Gate picture



Right over mid-span of the bridge looking North



Inside the bay now, looking back at the Golden Gate



The docking point for boats on Angel Island



Some livestock trails in a field up near Novato. I thought the patterns were pretty cool looking.



Back towards San Francisco now, this is from over Alcatraz Island



Closer to downtown San Francisco



Coit Tower in San Francisco



Downtown San Francisco with the Bay Bridge and Oakland in the background



The South of Market area. There was a Giants game this evening and you can see all the cars trying to get there. PacBell Park is near the top center of the picture.



The intersection of Highway 101 and Highway 280 in San Francisco



Candlestick (3com) park and Hunters point



San Francisco International Airport. The new BART extension is in the bottom of the picture, heading into the left side of the terminal.



Another view of San Francisco International



That stretch along 101 in Foster City with all the ugly technology billboards



The Oracle campus. I've always liked their buildings and didn't realize they were around a pond until I saw it from the air.



The San Carlos Airport.



Back at Palo Alto on the ramp.
