City Takes-Emotion and Vibe

 

        San Francisco is full of texture and emotion. This post tries to capture some of that vibe in this age of pandemic.



        Not since our pre pandemic visit to Dublin, Edinburgh and Glasgow have we been in a city. So here from a recent trip is COLOR AND NUANCE, the first post of an urban celebration of "The City."

        I hope you'll give yourself a couple of minutes to look at these frames, their color and detail, the larger the screen the better. 
        Taken in total or block by block San Francisco is a artful, arty and visually entertaining.







     
    



       








        I'm always fascinated by how people interact in public spaces. These shots capture the social distancing with dashes of California color and irony.  Create your own dialogue for the couples.






















        San Francisco has stunning structure and architectural rhythm. That is coming in a future post. 

        Look around where you live and notice what you see that others may not.

     See you down the trail.

  2. We love San Francisco, my granddaughter Sophia lives there, she works for an International Urban Design and Planning company. They have offices all over the world. Ms. S said people from the other offices world wide all want to transfer to SF.

    1. There is now a walking tour that goes to or near to where your favorite uncle used to swim in the bay near the bridge.

  6. I hope the guy doesn't get a ticket for no parking. That would be adding insult to injury for sure. Great photos. "Heist" -- love that. Only in SF.

    1. Thanks Mike. As for the poor guy beneath the no parking sign, I don't think would have cared. It was interesting to see how passersby made sure he was breathing, in whatever state of intoxication.
