I haven’t spotted the SF key feature you refer to - which photo
Nick55, I was referring to the photo which normally would have contained the GG Bridge and Alcatraz, and yet my dad failed to notice that another SF staple (fog) obscured them. I let this slide due to not cutting off the car. But he is loyal to a fault and a creature of habit. To prove my point, behold a photo from the 1970s I found recently...
There are so many wrong things about this photo that I am not sure how it inspired the hundreds of identically shot photos that followed. But then my dad's loyalty to tradition is why he is still doing this 50 years later. Pretty sure that despite my being more of a creative type myself I still am very drawn to those early, unfussed with Morgans that so impressed my friends each time Bill drove me to school, sleepover party, etc. It made such an impression on me that today, I have no recall of the parties, or picnics, I just remember the drive there. Plain dash and toggles, no frills, just pure fun.
