Sutro Tower & Christmas Tree Point (Twin Peaks) - San Francisco (Part 5)

I recently took two trips to San Francisco, CA visiting different places and taking photos. I went to many tourist attraction areas, some lesser known places, and took quite some street photography. I am here to share with you the photos that I took on these trips. The photos I took will be split across 7 blog posts. Day 1 of my trip in San Francisco took place on 1/27/2016, and day 2 of my trip in San Francisco took place on 2/1/2016.

Today I have scenery from from Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks is known for Christmas Tree Point and Sutro Tower. While I have only visited this location during the middle of the day, it is also known for its great sunset views so I highly recommend you drop by this location during day time and during sunset. These photos are Day 2 shot on 2/1/2016.
