I saw this building and thought -- something follows this, but I ...

Seriously, the scaffolding around this building in downtown SF made for a fairly interesting sight.

San Francisco is a study in contradictions.

This view, with all the older, ornate, religious architecture, is crisscrossed with the old-style phone and power wires.

OK, first, let me say that I did not REALLY get a tattoo. Just an April Fools Joke in case anyone didn't get it.

Now, today was Encryption, which, to a propellerhead like myself, was great. I soaked it up, and thus, did not need the evening review so much. That in mind, I grabbed the camera and went for a stroll in the Marina Park next to the hotel.

Lots of pretty decent (for me) pictures -- see the flickr page to see the rest.

I liked the composition of this one the most. I took it outside the hotel looking though the pigeon shield up the face of the building.

San Francisco Architecture

San Francisco is a very compact town. The whole city is only 49 square miles, which makes for extremely dense architecture -- fitting a lot of style in a short amount of space. Remember the pictures of the "Painted Ladies" -- several beautiful houses, all crammed together.

This is an example of such a narrow style of architecture. It is a house in the Mission district, a few blocks from Mission High School and Dolores park.
