Mount Davidson, San Francisco: I don't think this was my first time visiting the huge cross on Mount Davidson. Soon after I arrived in the Bay Area, the film Dirty Harry (1971), set in San Francisco, aired on TV. In one of the scenes, the bad guy runs Dirty Harry on a wild-goose chase all over San Francisco, ending up on Mount Davidson. Of course, new to the area, I pulled out my map of San Francisco and tried locating the route Dirty Harry had to go, and to see if it made sense in the movie. I think it did. I think I naturally must have gone to Mount Davidson not long after that.

Frame 27

I'm guessing that after shooting in Golden Gate Park and Mount Davidson this day, I went to a show that night with Kevin. I vaguely remember taking the next frame while on my way to pick up Kevin to go to a show.

Frame 28 - My car parked on the road called "Great Highway", which runs parallel to a minor highway called "Great Highway". I remember stopping because the light was so nice, which is also why I shot this frame.
