Crissy Field, Fort Point, and Presidio - San Francisco, CA (9/26/2016)

Last month on September 26th, 2016, I took a trip to San Francisco, CA. There was a pretty bad heat wave in the entire Bay Area and I had to leave Pleasanton in order to not get baked in the 100°F+ heat. I decided to go to to San Francisco, CA where it is nice an cool (which isn't entirely true because Downtown SF was around 88°F). On my trip, I visited Crissy Field East Beach, Crissy Field Wildlife Protection Area, Fort Point National Historic Site, and Torpedo Wharf at Presidio. It was around a nice 80°F along the coast. I shot some photos on my trip. In this blog post, I will show you the photos I shot on my DSLR. I also shot photos on my phone (can be viewed here) and a vlog (can be viewed here).
