Delucchi gleems silver

Brightening my day, North Beach's old Delucchi sheetmetal building gleams in a fresh coat of silver paint. Taken this week on Powell St. between Vallejo and Green.

Since the hill fell behind me last February 27, repair has been going on sporadically. Location: Vallejo Street top of the hill between Kearny and Montgomery.

Look Up

Sunday in the early morning, rushing to get to work, but phenomenal sight of clouds decorating the heavens stops my heart. Old Hobart building, new buildings and a city type tree framed the sky. Location: Market and Montgomery

Sexin it up

Due to this used condoms location and attitude I have to assume it was tossed out of a second story apartment window. I also have to ask: why? Why would someone just drop a condom on the ground? Icky.

UPDATE: This sign has since vanished. I assume it is being replaced.

Christmas is over!

stone henge?

We went for a walk on Christmas day along the wharf, just past pier 39. The stones reminded me of ice.

Candy bars

About some of the other blogs... why do so many shoes show up on the street? I don't know and I also don't know what these color pipes are used for either. They were at least as tall as me. Their varied colors randomly juxtaposed making for another serendipitous moment.

sensitive boy

When I see street art like this I wonder about the person who made it. Who is this sensitive boy? Did he make this during a time of sadness? Or was he just being facetious? More importantly, did he ever find his girl?

Location: 20th and Florida

Extinguisher at Atlas Cafe

I saw this fire extinguisher behind the Atlas Cafe, which you should check out. The fenced off area behind the cafe seems to be one of the very few abandoned lots in the area. It might be part of the cafe's property, I'm not sure.

The cafe itself is excellent. Decent coffee, wireless, and great sandwiches. The smoked trout is especially good. I also have to commend them on their excellent magazine collection. They have many art magazines including Modern Painting and Soma. Plus generally trendy rags. A friendly place, plus a smoking room.

Location: Florida Street at 21st Street behind the Atlas Cafe

Accident Shoe

This shoe was abandoned on Broadway by Bartol. It was obvious that an accident had occurred there the night before. There was broken windshield all over the ground. I was crouching in it while taking this picture. I wonder if this shoe was from a Woman involved in this accident. It looked sad.
