Description
Twin Peaks Golden Gate View. The actual "Twin Peaks" are two hills with an elevation of about 922 feet near the geographic center of San Francisco, California. Except for Mount Davidson, they are the highest points in the city.
This photo was taken on Monday 02-03-2014 in the afternoon. The view is that of beautiful San Francisco and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. A phenomenal day for photo shooting San Francisco and beyond!
HISTORY OF TWIN PEAKS: Before the arrival of the Europeans, the native Ohlone people may have used Twin Peaks as a lookout or hunting ground. The ecological diversity of Twin Peaks provided medicinal or ceremonial plants, grains and berries. When the Spanish conquistadors and settlers arrived at the beginning of the 18th century, they called the area "Los Pechos de la Chola" or "Breasts of the Indian Maiden" and devoted the area to ranching. When San Francisco passed under American control during the 19th century, it was renamed "Twin Peaks." Enjoy! Emmy Vickers,
