World-famous views of the shining Golden Gate Bridge. Brightly painted Victorian homes. Charming ethnic neighbourhoods. These are just some of the reasons that San Francisco, one of the world's most beautiful -- and famous -- cities, is such a popular place to live and visit. With a striking combination of stunning photographs and lively descriptions, this is a glowing tribute to the City by the Bay. Against a breezy backdrop of ships and sailing craft in the bay, 'Our San Francisco' reveals intimate human portraits in the city's Asian quarter and colourful festivals of the Hispanic Mission District. From 'play ball' in an oceanfront stadium, tai chi in Golden Gate Park, and a glittering opening night at the opera to eye-popping architecture, this is San Francisco at its best. Gary Crabbe is the photographer of 'The California Coast'. Based in the Bay Area, he sells his photography traditionally and on the web.
