On this trip, I visited relatives in Los Angeles then spent a few days in San Francisco. |
| I think this is Universal Studio. We visited many parks. Since I did not make an annotation as to which park is which, I can only guess. This show was seen from a train. We came up to what looks like a lake. In a movie, this would be an ocean. The fisherman can be seen in the middle of the body of water. He catches something and is pulled. Fisherman and boat disappears. After a while, we are attacked by Jaws. Some people screamed, some people laughed as the train tilted towards the body of water. Below is a closeup of Jaws. |

| San Francisco. A trolley (left) and at right the TransAmerica Pyramid. |
| The Harbor Prince, a ferry I took around the San Francisco Bay. |
| The two bridges: At left, Golden Gate; at right, Oakland. |
| Alcatraz Island (The Rock). It began as a lighthouse then changed to a military fortification, later a military prison and later became a federal prison until 1963. Today, the island is a historic site operated by the National Park Service. |

April 19, 2020 - I began cleaning out my closets a while back since I decided to rent the small room of my apartment to a friend. I had to shift things around which had been stored in the closets to make space. In so doing, I decided to get rid of the many photo albums I had stored in the foyer closet. Damn, I did not know I had that many photo albums. Before shredding the photos/postcards and souvenirs, I looked at them and decided to keep a few. I will post what I saved and scanned on various pages. Some photos and postcards may be posted on other pages. Everything posted will be as scanned without adjusting the photo for color, clarity, etc. What you see is what you get. Watermark will not be added. No kallaloo here, just simplicity. Below are the photos/postcards/souvenirs being added. Keep in mind, some may be duplicates. Enjoy!!! |

The Golden Gate: Aerial view of Golden Gate Bridge, the approach freeway though the Presidio, the Toll Plaza and distant high hills of Marin County. The tides race through this one-mile opening between the ocean and San Francisco Bay at speeds about 10 miles per hour. (c) Mike Roberts. |
San Francisco's famous fog rolls in through the Golden Gate. The fog, the Golden Gate Bridge and the beautiful city in the background create a picture that leaves natives and visitors breathless. (c) Photo by Sandor Balatoni. |
