40 Miles north of San Francisco, tucked away in beautiful Marin is a little town called Inverness. Calm bay water and very little local traffic make this an ideal weekend location. There were a birthday party and an old man with fishing rod and a golden retriever when we arrived.
Another shot of China Camp State Park in San Rafael. This one was taken with Nikon F4s on a Velvia 100 slide film - took me a while to get it processed and scanned. Color saturations and high contrast is mainly due to the film itself.
I was looking for website with more information on this place. . .it’s funny, the best one I could find is Yelp:
One rainy Saturday, while Isabel was in her ballet class, I was following Jae around at St. Vincent’s. I have some sort fascination with arch. . . And, Jae happened to stand in the middle of the hallway facing the arch - a perfect photo opportunity! It took me a while to figure out what to do with this photo. In the end, all it took was a little crop.

Another night shot from Tiburon, CA. On the right side is Angel Island. There was a sailboat out on the water at that hour.

A beautiful town in Marin, across the bay from San Francisco, is a town of Tiburon. Here is an excerpt from wikipedia:
The city’s name comes from the Spanish word tiburón, which means “shark.” Tiburon was formerly the southern terminus of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad. This railroad carried freight, mostly lumber, to the town for transfer to barges for shipping to cities around San Francisco Bay. It is now a commuter and tourist town, linked by fast ferry services to San Francisco and with a concentration of restaurants and clothes shops. It is the nearest mainland point to Angel Island and a regular ferry service connects to the island.
The former railroad right of way now forms part of the San Francisco Bay Trail, used by hikers and cyclists. Within the Tiburon town limits, the rail trail passes through the Richardson Bay Park and next to the Audubon Society’s Richardson Bay Sanctuary. These provide excellent opportunities for observing wildlife.
Also, here is a link to the town website: Tiburon
