Painted Ladies

This is an image of the famed "Painted Ladies" at Alamo Square in San Francisco. They have been seen in the movie "Misses Doubtfire", the show "Full House" and many other televised shows.
They truly are a sight to see, as if they are all standing in front of an audience waiting to be judged. Downtown San Francisco serves as the background.

Painted Ladies

This image features the iconic row of Victorian houses in San Francisco, famously known as the Painted Ladies. These homes are beautifully captured at sunset, with warm, golden light bathing their ornate facades. The skyline of downtown San Francisco rises in the background, creating a striking contrast between historic architecture and modern urban life.

The composition emphasizes the charm and symmetry of the homes, with vivid colors and intricate details that highlight their vintage appeal. The sky is softly tinted, adding a serene and nostalgic mood to the scene. It's a classic and beloved view from Alamo Square, often associated with postcards and pop culture.

Palace of Fine Arts Infrared II

The Palace of Fine Arts is a building that's stands in the Marina District of San Francisco. The palace was built as an exhibition center for 1915, Pan Pacific Celebration and is one of the few buildings from the exhibition that is still standing today.

Palace Of Fine Arts Infrared II

This is an infrared photograph of the iconic Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
The grand rotunda and classical columns of the Palace are prominently featured, showcasing its Beaux-Arts style.
The infrared technique transforms the surrounding foliage into ethereal, light-toned textures—often appearing white or silvery—creating a surreal contrast against the darker architectural elements.
A tranquil pond in the foreground mirrors the structure, adding depth and symmetry to the composition.
The overall mood is dreamlike and otherworldly, with the infrared palette lending a timeless, almost mystical quality to the scene.

Went to an Indigenous event yesterday in San Francisco where they built a fire with volcanic rocks to make acorn mush. The guy doing it said it’s important to get these round, tumbled rocks and they usually come from east of the Sierras. They ran a very inclusive event yesterday where different Indigenous groups came and asked the Yelamu people for permission to come ashore (into the Bay). Everyone shared their songs and stories. I learned a lot.

I spoke with outgoing SFMTA head Jeffrey Tumlin about robotaxis' impact on San Francisco – and the threat they pose to multimodal cities worldwide.

Tumlin: “I am very worried that so much of the joy of the remaining walkable cities in the world could be at risk from self-driving cars.”

Last Saturday, I went to the mall for some udon. It was so good that I've been telling everyone about it all week, and now I'm telling you.

The best damn udon in San Francisco
My udon quest led me to the surprisingly good Stonestown mall

one of those nice half-foggy sunrises today. I think I might end up missing those two cranes out at UCSF when they’re done, they’re like mini @SutroTower. #SanFrancisco

Sunrise light diffused by fog. Some small flowering bushes in the foreground and a city skyline at the horizon.

The Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is the most photographed bridge in the world. It's easy to understand why. The bridge itself is a beautiful piece of architectural art work and the setting is incredible.
The span reaches across the white capped waves of the San Francisco Bay below over to Marin County.
On this day the sky is blue but it's deceptively cold for San Francisco.

The Bridge

This is an image of the Golden Gate Bridge captured from the San Francisco side of the span.
The foreground is a hill along the trail at the Presidio.
The bridge takes center stage in this image.
The south tower stands tall against a clear blue sky at the top. As you bring your eye down you can see the dry hills of Marin County.
Below that are the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay.
To the right of the north tower is one small cloud just above the hilltops.

Activists installed guerrilla benches at bus stops in #SanFrancisco. Will the city keep them or tear them out? https://docpop.org/2025/06/public-benches-installed-by-activists/

Three people sitting on a bench that has been installed at a bus stop on Mission and 26th st. They are waiting for a bus. Also in the photo is an older woman who is pushing a stroller down the sidewalk.

A photo of a man sitting comfortable on a wooden bench at the bus stop on the corner of 22nd and Mission. The photo is taken from behind, so you can see the man waiting while a bus can be seen in the background.

A wooden bench with SFBABC.org written on one side. This is a clean looking bench that has been bolted to the sidewalk by volunteers. The bench is constructed with 2X4 wooden planks and a few custom made metal pieces. These aren't store bought benches, but they look like they could be.

Blue Angels and the Bridge
This is an image of the US Navy Blue Angels flying just south of the Golden Gate Bridge as they make their way into San Francisco. This event takes place yearly wrapping up with the Navy's Fleet Week.
These jets fly in amazingly tight formations and put on a show that can be seen from many great places along San Francisco Bay.

Blue Angels And The Bridge

This is an image of the US Navy's precision flying team, The Blue Angels. They are flying northeasterly as the pass the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge.
This route takes them over the San Francisco Bay and into San Francisco.
In this image you can see all 6 jets flying in tight formation as they pass the south tower of the bridge. The cables stretch out and hang down towards the deck of the bridge. All 6 jets are trailing smoke out of the rear of the jets as they make their entrance.

Some days I think about how I recently saw a guy in crisis, tweaking out in the bus. He was screaming really loudly. Most people avoided him. A big dude told him to shut TF up. The guy started crying. The big dude asked, do you need a hug? And gave him some money and told him where to go get food.

Buses connect people. Sometimes the inconvenience and grit looks like a lot, but as a forever rider of buses everywhere (I like them more than trains), I have no shortage of amazing human stories I’ve witnessed in buses the world over.

I just read in the Wall Street Journal that certain areas of San Francisco remain a ‘no go zone’, despite the best and most valiant efforts of our amazing ‘only good mayor in a while’, the billionaire whose mama paid for his campaign.

The no go zone, supposedly, includes the place I live in; where in the same article the same mayor says ‘it also has the highest number of children’
