Time flies...

 Old Saint Mary's Church in Chinatown has a message for you...

I find it very powerful. And so true.

We all do the most stupid things when we're young!
I know I did...

Boston in SF

I suppose Cable Cars are not so common anymore and you got to take them from where ever you can... So where did the Giants city got this one?!?

From the Red Sox city, of course!

 

One of my favorite city on the East Coast :)

In Sutro Park

During my second visit to this beautiful park, I noticed these amazing statues...

 One of the 2 lions guarding the entrance of the Park.

Somebody decided that this one needed new antlers!

Diana. The goddess of the hunt.

Turning...

I had noticed this one quite a while back and was waiting for a clear blue sky to take a picture...
Here it is.

A very graceful weather wane.

Intriguing Statue

I have no idea what culture this statue is from. But I love her.
On a sidewalk in the Richmond.

What time is it? It's Valentime...

Another heart in San Francisco...
(Sutro Baths)

Double Entendre

There was a time when everything was a little bit more subtle...

That was way before some men starting wandering naked on Castro Street (now an illegal practice and for sure, not so common in the cold weather).

The old jokes are still there but with the Castro reinventing itself I thought it was wise to immortalize them...

I have been in that restaurant once. Methinks, I did have lasagne with sausage...

I haven't visited the next one. A very much less subtle little shop. I figure it came after... ;)

 

The Moby Dick pub is my favorite one (in terms of innuendos). But I haven't set foot in there either...

The Bridge

Yesterday morning, we were driving along the Bay, past the Marina and Crissy Field, on our way to the other side... We all went "oh WOW".
It was stunning.

I see the bridge almost every day : there are enough hills in SF so that you can do that... But seeing the bridge up close, in the morning light, that was something else.

Artful Engineering

It had already occurred to me before, especially with the white umbrellas piece (that one) but it suddenly became clear with this one. My favorite street artist has more than one talent.

In this very ingenious country, it should come as no surprise...
Most of these pieces turn with the wind. And their realization are therefore very much thought upon.
Duh!

Carousel

My favorite street artist has been hiding a little gem from me... I was going down Church when my eye caught a statue at the end of the foot bridge going to Dolores Park. I tried to take a picture. Then I saw it.

Beautiful.

My favorite so far!

Cervantes in the Park

Any time I walked past this statue, a song comes to mind : Don Quichotte y Sancho Panza

Cervantes has many different fans...

:)

Yellow House

Somewhere in the Sunset, there is a very very pink house.
I took a picture of it on a very sad foggy day... I may have delete the photo from my folders. But I will post it some day because it's worth seeing.

Seeing this yellow house for the first time, I was wondering if I hadn't spotted it before because of the poor weather.
Who knows?

This corner house is stunning. And against that blue blue sky, it certainly reminds me of my hometown...
