"I had used to have an arty black & white framed poster like these photos of the famous steep streets of San Francisco. That's probably why I enjoyed taking so many photos there!"

On a recent family road trip around America, I was very excited to return to San Francisco some 30 years after I first visited . This was to be our final destination after more than two weeks and 1100 miles of travelling from Vegas to LA and up the Californian coast. 

In my (admittedly limited) travels around the US, San Francisco is my favorite American city; it just offers such a diverse range of sights and scenes, from the bridges to the bay, and great bars and restaurant culture.
