Witnessing President Barack Obama’s Arrival In San Francisco

in #politics8 years ago

Back in June this year I was in San Francisco for a business conference, and fortunately I happen to time my visit during the same time President Obama was in town. I managed to get a few interesting images of President Obama’s “entourage”, however, not the President Obama himself.

As mentioned I didn’t actually get to see President Obama himself arrive. I was waiting at the place he was staying at, which is the Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco for just over an hour. From rumours I heard he was having a meeting locally, and he would be arriving “soon”. But as mentioned, I waited just over an hour, so I’m guessing he arrived later that night.

So without anymore waiting around, here are some interesting pictures of President Obama’s “entourage” preparing for his arrival.

Huge Police Presence Awaiting The President’s Arrival

As You Can Imagine Security Was Super Tight

A Number Of Protesters Were Hanging Around

Literally The Whole Block Was Closed

I would've absolutely loved to have captured more pictures, but I was asked to stop taking pictures at a certain point by a gentleman in a suit, who I’m assuming was part of the security detail. Of course I obliged!

I hope you enjoyed this short, and interesting post. I’m currently in Bruges (Belgium), I travelled here yesterday from the UK on the EuroStar train! Have a great weekend all, and it'd be great to hear any of your stories if similar.

Not entirely sure why the images aren't showing, as they are showing when I click "edit", and I'm uploading in exactly the same way.
