Mt. Tamalpais State Park - Marin County, CA

Last month, I took a trip to Mt. Tamalpais State Park in Marin County, CA. Mt. Tamalpais is one of the highest mountains in the San Francisco Bay Area and features lots of great views. Most of the time, you can get above the cloud cover just by driving up towards the peak (you will see a lot in my photos)! On the trip I took scenery photos from Mt. Tamalpais and Bolinas, CA (on the way home). The photos will be split into 2 parts. I also shot vlog (view here) and aerial photos (view here) on the trip.

I took the trip on August 10th, 2016. I took quite a lot of trips/photo shoots in the month of August, so I didn't have much time to work on my photos. Then in September, I experienced several viral infections (my immune system is horrible) which delayed my photo processing even further. This is why I'm only getting around to posting these photos now. I hope you enjoy.
