The anti-Guédelon building

In the heart of Puisaye, in Burgundy, France a team of fifty people have taken on an extraordinary feat: to build a castle using the same techniques and materials used in the Middle Ages. 

In San Francisco, they are building a lego-resembling building. The techniques and materials are modern...



To be fair, the housing situation in SF is problematic to say the least... No time to waste.

For a visit of the Guédelon, go here (English version)

Red Door

In the heart of the mission, there's a beautiful red door.




Once a church -a Kirche, it is now a Buddhist place.

Hidden

I have been a member of this museum for a few years now and I have only recently discovered that hidden gem...

Nothing beautiful per se but amazing and peaceful! I love it!




At the De Young.

2 Photographers


Summer is over. There was no real summer here in fact. We had to travel a little to get some real summer, the kind of summer you complain about -too hot, too humid!

Predictably enough, there were very few photos of SF on the internet this past summer...

No wonder : with little sun and kids to entertain, people did not use their cameras!

I took one picture!
Here's my favorite view of all SF -every single day!

Vincent in San Francisco



A couple of days ago I went to the Legion of Honor. It had been a while and there was this exhibition I wanted to see...

I'm glad I went.

I will go back again for this painting.

I love tulips.
And it's a Van Gogh! Amazing, no?!?

Noe


I love this street. From Duboce to Upper Noe Valley. All the way.

Post Card


The Coit Tower was closed for a while but not anymore!

This one was taken from the Embarcadero, of course. Where else? :)
