I happen to be by the area known as The Marina. The northern portion is lined by a long open field known as Marina Green with a marina at one end and Fort Mason on the other. Many high-priced homes that border the Marina Green offer million dollar views of the bay.Alcatraz Island is clearly visible to the northeast The Golden Gate Bridge off to the northwestA quick glimpse of the Exploratorium and The Palace Of Fine Arts as you enter the former military base called The PresidioThe former military base has been rehabbed into a multi-use area containing businesses and shops. The area has been opened up to hikers, bikers, and nature. Here the GG Bridge is back set to a reclaimed area of land set aside as a nature preserve
