Not from SF...

Water, clouds, sky and boats. Could be anywhere... But it's not in SF!

My favorite place in the world.

Peacock in Chinatown

I had never noticed it before... It's so pale.

I was aiming at the lanterns and then I saw it!

Arrow on Bridge

Very often, when I go down to the Embarcadero, the weather is poor...

I would have liked this one with a clear blue sky!
Next time!

My favorite mural

It's beautiful, isn't it?

I love it!

From Pier 39...

I went to see the SF sea lions with my little family after a visit to the Aquarium...

They were noisy and smelly but I still love them!

My Heart on 22nd Street

A late afternoon Sunday stroll brought us there when the sun was setting...

These are not the most famous stairs of the city but they are still pretty popular and the driving down that street is worth a try!

Dog on House

My new stroll purpose : anything about dogs in the city... That should not be difficult!

Maybe I should go to the Dogpatch...

Mini Bridge

This is the other red bridge of San Francisco. A hidden gem only known to locals I guess.

Super Kitsch.
So funny.

Pier 39

I took this photo a while ago. Probably when we first arrived here and visited the city during the weekends!

I rarely go to this part of town. A touristic attraction in the capitalistic sense for sure : somewhere to buy your souvenirs and gifts to bring back!

I once read an article in a local magazine which asked people what was their number one tourist attraction in the city. Amazingly enough someone had pointed to a locally famous ice-cream shop (not even my favorite one -though I must admit I went there yesterday and their orange sherbet is to die for!)...

I guess it all depends on what you do during your vacation!

But I always go back there. Anything close to the water is home to me....

My heart in San Francisco

Walking on Lands End. We paused to watch the ocean. A rather mesmerizing sight.

Hills

Sometimes, depending where you are, you don't see the city...

You can hear it but not see it!

Happy

I like this piece : Look at that smile!

(in happy Castro)

Technology wins

You see them on the pavement sometimes. Discarded items of another age...  

 

Bay Bridge

Classic picture of the Bay Bridge. I've seen this numerous times... I had to do mine!

This post is for Joachim.

Artistic Cable

I just love them. A lot.

I could see myself color that picture :)
(Apparently, a new craze in France)

Sutro Tower

This ugly tower is often hidden.

Thank God for that!

Infinity and Beyond

Not my first photo of the kind... I like the endless repetition of it.

This building could do with a little wash.
I guess the reserve bank is finite in the end!

Humongous Palm Tree

I don't think I have ever seen such a big palm tree before. It is so huge my arms can't even go around half of it... (I've tried)

Kite Art

Turning in windy Castro...

Another art piece by my favorite mysterious artist.
