So I wan in the bay area for a friend's wedding a while ago. Due to the time difference, I wasn't be able to sleep very well.  One of the benefits of being an early-morning riser in San Francisco is watching the city come awake.  The pictures below are of a walk I took two weeks ago when the sun was coming up.  That morning, I had woken up at four a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep.  So I got up, made a pot of tea, and read for a while.  When I noticed the sun rising over the city, I rushed out to walk up and over Russian Hill.  Now if only I could find some breakfast places that open extra early.
