I spent several hours walking through Golden Gate Park in San Francisco today. I must say, it is a massive expanse of parkland for a city. I was hard pressed to walk the entire 5kms. Let’s be honest, “park” is a bit of an understatement for this sized tract of woodland in the middle of a city. Some of these trees are over 100 years old, and the park is featured in Charlie Chaplain movies, Dirty Harry and even Bugs Bunny cartoons.

Stepping into the various groves like this one and you quickly forget you are in a city at all, and expect druids, or bears, to come wandering past at any moment.
