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.

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

Christmas is over!

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.

Caffe Trieste at night

What happens to your café at night? Is it haunted by nerdly creatures? Is skin made violet thru LCD reflections or is an otherworldly nature revealed thru this eerie pallor? The blood red walls with the beardless nerd's violet skin make me recall musing from Van Gough. For him color could trigger an episode of violent madness. Message: Do not take color's impact too lightly or you may live to regret it.

Sewer with white cross, homage to Kasimir Malevitch

Everything seemed beautiful that day including this sewer. This looks to me like an homage to Kasimir Malevitch.

Pork/SHEEDY caution

I didn't have my camera the first time I saw this. But, I was able to find the graffitied sign, not in the open as previously, but fenced in like a pig in a pen.

Location: Mission and New Montgomery

Silent Crane

Construction is seen through chain link fence. Orange crane now moves silently in an ochre pond with pink shoreline. It is less exciting but more pleasant devoid of the sound of the work.

Location: Vallejo Street and Fresno Alley
