When Oracle speaks, San Francisco listens…and even shuts downs of parts of streets. But while my husband is wallowing in geek-dom, I’m enjoying myself on the streets of San Francisco…and in the teashops and bakeries and cheese shops and… I started the morning with a leisurely breakfast of chocolate croissant and tea, then after a stop at our hotel, walked the mile down to the Ferry Building (with lots of photo stops) where I spent a long time wandering around looking at the goodies in the shops and sitting by the bay. I took a few pictures during the day as well. But on the way to the Bay, I was mesmerized by two windows in particular, both for what was inside and for the reflections. Here are my unedited submissions for this week’s Phoneography Challenge. As Sally likes to say, let me know which you like and why. And if you’d like to see a bit of what we saw yesterday, on arrival and at Muir Woods among the majestic redwoods, check the previous post. One thing’s for sure, I don’t have to worry about getting fat during this trip as I’m walking copious amounts every day! So I’ll indulge. 🙂

Janet — For whatever reason, your two SF urban shots are not visible.
Did you try again? Just got up (6 am in SF) and apparently a number of people have seen them. I hope you can, too.

The city that stole my great is a glorious wonder. Like your set of images and will check out your captures of Muir Woods. Do see Andy Goldsworthy’s sculptures that are scattered around the city. Happy Phoneography Challenge.
I may have already seen one or two but didn’t get close enough to see the sculpture’s name. I’ll check today if I see any. Thanks.

The first picture is just great. Do you have an idea how they built this dishes-pyramid?
With great care. 🙂 No, but I love it.

Great-looking windows, Janet! I also love the reflections. Is the sky really that blue? Pretty! I also love the red buses. What a scene! Keep on walking! T.
The sky’s been quite blue and the weather’s incredible. I’m doing lots of walking! Chinatown today, I think.

What fun! Enjoy! T.
Love the second one!
Thanks. 🙂

Indeed San Francisco is such a quaint city that I can well imagine you enjoying on the streets as you slowly move towards Chinatown.
