The "Mean" Streets of HK Island

Yes, there are lots of stairs and levels in Hong Kong (probably one of the reasons why there not many overweight people there). Here you see an outdoor market on one of the many hills.
I've decided to dedicate the weekend to posting images I took while visiting Hong Kong earlier this month. The first four images here represent some of the typical street scenes you see while walking around the city during the daytime.

Looking down.
One of the many winding roads making its way down the mountainside. 
Yes, there is lots of amazing shopping in Hong Kong. Here we are looking at 3 awesome shops (none of which I can afford to actually buy anything on the inside)

Fog day

FOG!
Since the surf was bad today, I decided to drive over to Marin Headlands and take some photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. I only had a half a day left in Northern California and wanted to make the most of it. When I first got to the top of the hill (overlooking the bay), all I could see was fog. I was pretty bummed and almost left... but decided to chill out for 30 minutes (hoping the fog burned off). Here are some pictures I took while I was waiting (as you will see in my next post, the fog burned off and I had an epic view... have to wait until tomorrow for those pictures).
