This post is part of 5-Week Challenge: Tell us about a travel Experience started by @TsekoV

Last year as you can imagine my travel options were very limited. It mostly limited to local travel due to lock down. Fortunately I live around 50 miles from San Francisco. Most of my visits to San Francisco ends up with visits to most popular tourist places, since I am official ‘tour guide’ to relatives and friends visiting me in the San Francisco bay area.

Fortunately I visited Buena Vista Park which is close to Haight and Ashbury area. In fact which is close to lot of interesting unique shopping area and restaurants in San Francisco.

‘Beuna Vista’ means ‘Good View’ in Spanish. As you can see in the above collage, you can enjoy spectacular views of San Francisco. Please refer to details in my review link.

Buena Vista Park is a great place to wander around and explore @jayasimha78 did you get up to Golden Gate Park or Twin Peaks?

@PaulPavlinovich Yes it is a great place to wander around and good place for short steep hikes too. I have been to Golden gate Park and Twin peaks quite a few times. In fact twin peaks is my stop whenever I take folks visiting me to show them views of San Francisco. But twin peaks has become such a dangerous place these days, people get robbed during day, specially if you are carrying expensive photography equipment.

@Sophia_Cambodia Yes, it is a great place to visit!

Hi @jayasimha78

I have been to the Golden Gate Bridge and took a stroll in the adjoining parks though not aware of what the name of the parks are.

Is this view from Buena Vista Park?

I am always curious about the software you use for making the collage?

Which program do you use for making the photo layouts?

@TusharSuradkar Buena Vista Park is not this close to the bay, you can see the actual location in the maps link above. It is few blocks from Haights Street and Ashbury Street intersection. In fact it was the first time I went to this park. Regarding collage, it is online, please visit photocollage.com, very impressive tool to make collages.
