Lands End Trail (from a springtime hike) #watercolor #watercolour #sf #sanfrancisco
The Golden Gate, seen from a coastal bluff, filled with brambles and white blossoms, on San Francisco's Lands End Trail in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. A sharp tidal line marks the division between green Bay water and the blue ocean. The Golden Gate Bridge is seen a few miles away to the east. In the sky, puffy clouds reflect the ocean light.

Thabks so very much!! I'd say basse on my experience thus far success flies not so much in controlling the watercolors but in providing the best parameters for them to do what they're going to do. Kind of like parenting?

Yes. Though it originally opened in '88 as San Francisco Shopping Centre, then once the Westfield rebranding and expansion had run its course, it's now plain old San Francisco Centre. And anchored by Shake Shack.
