Sutro Baths area 4 days later than my previous. I've included the other part of the area that wasn't in my previous panorama. I also sharpened the pictures so you can see more details.
I found numerous activities taking place, from fishing, surfing, jet skiing, climbing, animal/bird watching to hiking. Interestingly there's a person sitting by a seal that had clearly died and was bloated, thus decomposing and smelling. To compare the area 4 days previous see http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=27746 |

Sutro Baths, the newly renovated Cliff House and Seal Rock (yes, there are seals on the rocks) in San Francisco on a very windy day.
Same area, different perspective: http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=27665 View from the other side of the mountain: http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=27659 Here's a link to what Sutro Baths used to look like. http://www.alamedainfo.com/postcards_of_san_francisco_3.htm Notice the buildings, the trams, the statues, etc. There used to be a place where there were roller coasters, other rides, and arcades at Playland. It was quite an exciting area. Today you see...well, what you see in my pictures. |

Merewether Baths first opened in 1935. These baths are cut into the rock platform and are a popular recreational and fitness training area for the locals. The Great North walks heads past them, and the Swells Kioks, just nearby is open for breakfast. This image is taken between the two main pools |
