San Francisco has a charm that few other cities can boast of. If it is charming by day, it’s very pretty and dreamy by night. I recently got to take in all that nighttime beauty when I had a nice long walk with a friend of mine. Here’s a sneak peek at San Francisco at night
It was literally a gorgeous girls’ night out. Since it was late February, night had set in early as it does every time winter is here. The lights had come on and the skyscrapers looked bejeweled. The artistic Victorian buildings that San Francisco is so famous for, was bathed in soft lights, looking as lovely as always.
Transamerica Pyramid looked stunning.
The Coit Tower looked like a light house out of a story book.
And the Bay Bridge was perfectly decked up.

That night as I stood and admired the Bay Bridge, I made a silent wish — to be able to see the Golden Gate Bridge in all its nighttime glory. And sure enough, a couple of months later, that wish was fulfilled.

Raj, your visiting this post and leaving a comment is a big compliment in itself. And I am a fan of YOUR writing. I'm dying to know who committed that murder at Sundaram villa 🙂
Hey Raj, thank you so very much for all the lovely things you said in your comment here. 🙂
You have a lovely travel blog. Nice captures.

Thank you Niranjan. Welcome to Tipsy from the trip. I see you've joined my league of followers. I'll try not to disappoint you. 🙂
I love San Francisco!!! It is my favorite city in the world–I call it my celebrity love city:) The photos are awesome. I love the Golden Gate night shot:) Which building is the first pic? And girls's nite out in SFO–sounds so awesome. I have been mostly alone in this city–I know the drug dens and hidden dance spots:)Need to get gurlfriends to enjoy it the way you have done!
In btw, I do not think I have come to this blog of yours. It is different….
Me too Bhavana; love the city. Celebrity love city? 🙂
Thank you so much. The last picture in this post is that of the Bay Bridge. Shall put the night shots of Golden Gate Bridge real soon.
We just had a harmless girls' evening out. A nice long walk after we went to catch some of the Chinese New year parade.
Drug dens and dance spots? That sounds like fun 😉
You have been this blog too, Bhavana. I remember seeing your comments on a Winery post and the SuperCroc post too (remember the crocodile that ate dinosaurs?).
Oh yes!!! I remember the winery post…hahaha, what I don't remember was if you were drunk after that trip or not!
Nope, not drunk. Sadly, tastings don't give me high 🙁
wwo the pics are great. I've been wanting to go to the US and SF since ages now, but somehow land up always in Europe (thats awesome too btw).
But these images are really compelling…. looks like u had a good time wid ure gal pals.
