Whenever someone says San Fransisco, all I can think of is either The Golden Gate Bridge, or those houses and since every picture I see of SF is of the bridge I would have voted yours anyway

I clicked on the link with the intent on voting for my favourite piccy as I normally do. You got my click

though I wish they'd put higher res versions up as they barely take up a 1/4 of my screen making it a bit tricky to judge

I did the same. I also picked yours as I genuinely thought it was the best image. I quite liked the pillow fight picture by Gene Kosoy but would have preferred a wider shot.

Good luck

Some very odd choices there (on the part of the editors, not you), and hey, everyone does the Golden Gate Bridge - so much so that it gets boring after a while. So I voted for yours.

Looks like you've got stiff competition from John Flemming though.

Love the photo

We drove up from LA to SF and we came in this way I'm sure (is that right?). Those houses are great, would love to have had some time to hit the bars round there and meet some locals

Out of interest, Mel do you know 'the most unpretentious bar in San Francisco'? I know the very fact they advertised this automatically disqualifies them from the next years award (lol), but it was a good bar, they had a blackboard where you could buy drinks and put them up there for when they came in...epically vague but if you know it \o/

I have not heard of it... I hit mostly the dive bars only the locals know about ;-) There's a few great places.

The houses aren't really in a place that you drive by going to or from anyway, you need to be going directly to them in order to see them. tbh I didn't even know where they were until I moved next to them!

Voted, I managed to find them randomly while walking about on my way back from Japan town IIRC? I think the mad dojo is around there as well. Did you take that from the hill in the park opposite?

Yeah right up on the hill there. I was walking home one night and the skyline was crystal clear so I decided to grab the tripod and head up to the park. Usually it's foggy but that night it was so beautiful.

Yeah we got lost as hell coming in to SF, is why it might have looked familiar, haha!

I think it's called 'Daves Bar', not far from Union Square but walkable - one of the girls we were meeting there said it was decent - they served a not-bad Guiness on tap - can't complain
