Put your arms around me, baby, like a circle 'round the sun, January 2019
Marin, GG Bridge, and SF: A Photographic Log
26 January 2019, 26 miles
Another pleasant January day in northern California. High cloud and filtered sunshine, with temperature close to 70° F in some places, but a chilly wind out of the north while pedaling.I drove down to Mill Valley, parked near the elementary school, and biked through Sausalito, across the bridge, and on the path along the edge of the Bay toward the Marina District. The Mill Valley - Sausalito path was packed with clot after clot of bikes, because some kind of big organized ride was underway. The bridge, usually a gigantic scrum, wasn't so bad. Walkers, joggers, strollers, dogs, and more bikes packed the shoreline path through Crissy Field.
I wandered around, ate my sandwich and drank my tea, then rolled back across the bridge and back up to Mill Valley.
This winter weather around here sure is rough.
Sun dog—also known as a parhelion—above the Golden Gate Bridge.
Or perhaps the event horizon of a massive black hole materializing above San Francisco.
Looking back at the bridge.
Looking down on Crissy Field, with the skyline of San Francisco in the distance.
Note the odd blue shape off to the right.
Here it is.
Monterey Bay Aquarium's blue whale art installation, 82-feet long, constructed of recycled plastic.
The little girl helps provide scale.
"Mommy, mommy," she exclaimed. "I touched it!"

One flick of the tail, and the Ogre is dead meat.
The City.
Alcatraz.
The bridge.
Put your arms around me, baby, like a circle 'round the sun.
