I remember when there was a full-fledged military presence in the presidio. It's now a National Park.
I’ve been to parts of the Presidio before, but I’ve unaccountably not visited the Crissy Field / Fort Point area. Typical, I’m sure, of locals who never visit the most renowned sights in their area. Since I had some business in Sausalito yesterday I decided, in advance, to venture over the bridge and do some research concerning the parking, etc, situation.
The day turned out to be incredibly hazy (wouldn’t want to use the sm-g word). So hazy that you couldn’t even see the East Bay from San Francisco. I decided, driving over, that this would be a good opportunity for black and white images.
Well, there was plenty of parking, including spots right in front of a mournfully deserted Stilwell Hall. I walked from there to the Fort Point area, directly under the Golden Gate Bridge. Lots of pictorial possibilities! If it weren’t so . . . um, hazy.
