Wave Organ

A beautiful spot at the very end of the Marina. Courtesy of the Exploratorium.
We loved it.
The views were breathtaking. The wave noise interesting.
 

I certainly recommend a visit.

Gorilla (In Memoriam)

That photo was taken a while back when visitors could come very close to the group of gorillas in the SF Zoo.
Since then, for their tranquility, I'm sure, we can only see them through glass windows...

This afternoon I was sorry to hear that one of them died in an accident.

That will certainly not pacify the mixed feelings I have always had when visiting a zoo...

Photo shoot

 

If you ever go to the Palace of Fine Arts on a very sunny day, you might stumble upon a photo shoot. Be it wedding photos or models with fancy dresses...

I like this one. Her mango meringue dress matches the Palace perfectly :)

Dinosaur?

Could also be a dog high on whatever it found on the street...

Although I find this mural distasteful, I can appreciate the art. It's pretty amazing.
Nothing's definite, I guess.

International Orange Triangle

It is always a delight to see the International Orange Bridge... (the official color of the Golden Gate Bridge is international orange)

With the beautiful weather, sailboats were out.
I did what I can with my tiny camera.

Christmas is approaching... So I have hopes!
;)

The (Maps) Wave

In the Haight area.
I was walking in the neighborhood when I saw Stan doing his collage.
Made out of maps, the artist even selected a map of Japan to represent Mount Fuji...

I like the finished piece.

And it's a great way to recycle old paper maps now that we all use Google maps! ;)

(Hokusai painting is one of my favorite ever!)

Duck on North Lake

Last weekend, we went to Golden Gate Park again.
There are still many areas that we haven't explored and North Lake was one of them.

A very peaceful lake with plenty animals to gaze at.

This drake was one of them.
