San Francisco, From Up Above

Aerial Shots of San Francisco Bay Area

 

Whenever I fly, I always take the aisle seat because of my super tiny bladder. For my recent trip back home, I drank less water and sat at the window seat, because I wanted to get shots of my favorite American city from up above. So check out the above link and drool away.

When I started to land in San Francisco, I whipped my camera out and stated taking aerial shots of the Bay Area like an obsessed freak. The person next to me was probably thinking, “What is that freak doing?” On a second thought, she probably was wondering why the hell Jennifer Aniston is so secretive about her love life, as she was flipping through the Life & Styles Magazine.

Because my flight was delayed, we had to circle in the air above the Bay Area three times. Perfect! So, I got some great shots all around. It was extra fascinating to see the San Francisco skyline from straight above instead from the side. Also, it was great to see the new Bay Bridge that is currently being built, which isn’t easy to see while on the ground. I absolutely loved Kara’s comment about the new bridge picture: “Stay to the left people, stay to the left.”

Anyways, definitely a whole different perspective of the city.

    It’s true though, stay to the left! That’s the one where your hand forms the right-reading “L” shape!
