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!
