This post is for two of the most popular challenges: Beautiful Sunday by @ace108, and Sublime Sunday, created by @c0ff33a.
It is also my post for #piratesunday, in support for the tag started by @stokjockey.
I love driving to San Francisco through the Bay Bridge.
Approaching the City from the east, the center divide at the foot of the bridge is lined with beautiful palm trees.
The new eastern section is a single deck bridge with the eastbound and westbound lanes on each side making it the world's widest bridge, according to Guinness World Records.
There are lots of clouds over San Francisco today.
From the bridge, one can view Angel Island, Treasure Island, and closer to the City is Alcatraz Island. Unfortunately, my camera was not on when I thought I was taking a video of the view those islands from the bridge.
The skyline of San Francisco is breathtaking, especially on clear nights when lights from buildings and homes on hilltops appear like a million stars.
I met up with college friends for lunch in Union Square, which I shall share with you on another day.
During lunch, someone recalled how we would hop on to a California Street cable car enjoyed the overview of Nob Hill, China Town, the Financial District and of course the view of the Bay Bridge. My friends and I did this regularly through our college years and never got tired of it. I loved taking in the cold breeze and the lovely and romantic ambiance of the city.
California Street is one of the longest streets in San Francisco, and there are hundreds of things to see going down the very steep slope of California Street. This is a photo of California Street from wikipedia
After lunch, we drove to the San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf particularly the Hyde Street Pier to look at the old ships!
At this point, I ran out of juice on my phone. The ship above is the Schooner C.A. THAYER that was built in 1895. She is one of the last survivors of the sailing schooners in the West Coast lumber trade to San Francisco from Washington, Oregon, and Northern California, and is very well preserved here at the San Francisco Maritime Historical Park Hyde Street Pier.
The photos below are from the Library of Congress website of the interior of the preserved Schooner C.A. THAYER.
And finally, a vintage ship silver art bar!

Oh would I have loved to Tour the CA Thayer. But I'd need something to wear! Something before 1900.
When you come to San Franciso, we'll tour not just this but all other ships in Hyde St Pier, sis @kerrislravenhill! And that is a beautiful moji!!!

Beautiful... Really.
Wish to see the West coast someday. The only time I came to the US, I was at NY(Albany). Beautiful country✌😍.
Have a wonderful Sunday @silversaver888

California is as beautiful as the other states of the US @abdex9! NY is one of the first states of the US. SO much history there. ✌😍 Someday perhaps you will be able to come and visit!
!tip
Wow. Yeah sure... Perhaps, would let you know when I'm in CA @silversaver888. Wouldn't be bad to meet a fellow steemian in person😂😍😋

Lovely tour of the bay area @silversaver888. I grew up in Orange County CA and made many trips to San Francisco. It is a wonderful place to visit. I remember one time going to Alcatraz Island and a former inmate was signing copies of his autobiography! I still have it. I may have to re-read it for a #steemitbookreport. ;)
Did he write an autobiography while being an inmate there? WOW... he has stories to tell about his stay in Alcatraz for sure!
I lived in SF for 11 years. I went to a private Catholic Jesuit University in San Francisco, and like many, decided to stay the next first 6 years of work-life there. I enjoyed San Francisco very much. I consider it my second home, @summertooth! I used to know the City like the back of my hand!
That gif you have crossing the bridge is the first thing I saw the morning of September 11th. Kind of gave me chills. Enjoy your day @silversaver888 and a !tip to you!
Oh my... you were in the Bay Area on September 11? WOW!
Have a lovely day, @vgholdingsllc. And thank you for the tip! The good thing about the tip is that the steemian it was sent to receives a full .1 steem and not fractions of it , and that goes directly to his/her steem wallet! Back at you, my dear!

Nice way to combine the two tags bestie. Looks awesome.🌹
Three tags, bestie... #Beautiful Sunday by @ace108, #Sublime Sunday, created by @c0ff33a and #piratesunday by @stokjockey. And there two photography buffs who are hosting photo contests: @melinda010100 for Walkway Shadows and @kus-knee is hosting The Dirty Car as Art. I am not really into joining contests because I don't win anyway.. and I love to win always, lol!!! Losing is just not me, bestie! But it keeps me interested in steemit, and a great way to engage people from other tribes.
Have a wonderful week ahead, my dear @silverd510! Take care.

Sounds like fun! San Francisco is such a great city. So much to do and discover. And that old ship is AWESOME!!! I'd love to sail on it... just not too far out to sea. ;)
Sailing San Francisco is so much fun!!! It is one of the experiences I enjoyed in the past.

And BTW, one of the ships at Hyde St Pier is the Balclutha which was built in Scottland, launch in 1886 then transferred to the registry of Hawaii in 1899! So cool!!!
"The Balclutha was the last ship to sail under the flag of the Kingdom of Hawai'i and in 1901, a special act of Congress admitted her to American registry."
Neat, huh?!!! Have a wonderful week ahead, sis @katrina-ariel! Take care.😍

What a cool way to share you day, looks like a great day I love those old cable cars :)
Sometimes video snippets offer the convenience of not having to open another window to watch a video, which a reader would have to do with dtube and YouTube.
Yeah, cable cars are so cool! I remember a group of us singing Christmas Carols around the city on a cable car. Soooo cold!!!
!tip
They is a very good point and often skip watching the video when I have to open them up, so I like them in the post like this :)
I very seldom do videos myself, in fact cannot remember the last time I did one LOL
You don’t need to do a video because your photos speak a thousand words with your skill and talent of making us feel what you see. What a gift 🎁 you have, @tattoodjay!!

I LOVE San Francisco. I last went there for a few days in November 2017 (by myself) to take this really cool photography class/tour. Me and a professional photographer met up at 4:30 in the morning and drove to all of these amazing spots in the city to get photos from pre-dawn through sunrise until about 11am. So much fun!
My husband is desperate to get back for a visit since we haven’t both been together in several years. I gotta hop on the next flight sale from Alaska Air and sneak down for a long weekend.
I love your photos. The Bay Bridge is my favorite.
Looks like you had an awesome day in the city.
I left my heart in San Francisco, sweet @dfinney! And it seems that you did too!!!
I hope you are having a fantastic Monday! Mine started so hectic, I am just now taking a short break to be here, and to send you Hugs and Kisses 🤗💕💋!!!!

Looks like you had a really wonderful day nice to catch up with old friends love all giffs 😜
San Francisco looks great, seeing the trams reminds me of the video game driver lol - along with the hilly streets good for epic air time!
Stunning photos of the old sail boat, I love seeing those pieces of history preserved - did you jump on to hunt for some silver coins ?

It is a beautiful city! I just had to live there after spending 4 years at a University there. And... I left my heart in San Francisco! Thanks for taking the time to stop by, @c0ff33a. I appreciate you!
