Crissy Field, San Francisco - "when I'm in a state of tranquility, the world is still, A calm, serene ocean, with dreams it does instill":

Twin Peaks & Golden Gate Bridge from Angel Island, San Francisco - when I seek a remote, objective perspective on things:

Batteries to Bluffs Trail, Presidio of San Francisco - when there is nothing to do in the early evening:

Conservatory Of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco - when I am confused, fauna or flora?

Sea Cliff Drive, San Francisco - when I feel poor, I look for a new home though wealth is not in coins but within the heart:

Panoramic Hill Trail, Berkeley - when I drift through 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost:

A while ago, I launched a couple of new websites powered by different frameworks. I must admit, due to my procrastination, even after several years have passed, they remain in their early stages of development.

1. https://www.epicmath.com : AngularJS/Node, on conceptual mathematics.
2. https://www.einsteinish.com : Django 1.8.7, MariaDB, and Elasticsearch - on quantum physics and Universe.
3. https://www.pygoogle.com : Ruby on Rails 4 - tapping Google services with Python
