San Francisco from Treasure Island at Night. I wish that I had taken a gigapan of the sunset that night instead of eating dinner.

The area is really rather remote for being so close to urban areas. It is great to have parks and hills. Mount Diablo is the peak that you see. THe view from there may be seen here;

Laguna Beach California on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

The Sandpiper is a traditional bed and breakfast located on California’s North coast in Elk California. The rooms have a great view of a cove and the surf. A large and lush garden exists on the surf side with a bench or two. This is a fine place to watch the sunset and have a little wine. The rooms here are comfortable and traditional.
