Image of the Week: The Horseshoe

Where: Twin Peaks Boulevard from Christmas Tree Point Road, San Francisco, California, USA

When: October 2013

What: The famous hairpin bend known as "The Horseshoe" on Twin Peaks Blvd heading north to Tank Hill and Cole Valley.

Comment: Rarely have I ever walked this far along the viewpoint on Twin Peaks. Glad I did to catch this view which has a great angle on the hairpin turn that's featured in many tv commercials, especially car commercials.
