Here’s one of the many faces staring down from the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Snapped on a stop-over visit last month.

Passing through San Francisco in a series of long layovers last month, I came upon the Ferry Building, all decked out in lights, presumably to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition.

It seems the statue of Dutch painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn made himself a few friends since the last time I walked through this square in Amsterdam. This was how Rembrandt’s army looked on a soggy evening back in September.

I’ve always found it fascinating what people click on in my bucket of photos stored on Flickr. This photo shows a nondescript hallway at the office … and it’s been consistently #3 to #5 for all-time views over the last little while.

This is what you get when you place your cellphone under suspended art — Lichtglitter in Raum by Heinz Mack, as presented at Amsterdam’s Stadelijk Museum back in September — and snap a photo.

This is one of the retro symbols of Germany.
Ampelmann is the name given to the “walk” symbol from pedestrian traffic lights in East Germany during communist times.
The figure was so beloved, there was an uproar when officials tried to replace it. As a consequence, they remain an active holdover … and it wouldn’t be shocking to find them in parts of Germany that were never behind the Iron Curtain.
Above, a more-than-life-size Ampelmann spotted in Frankfurt’s historic square; below, an Ampelmann in action in Berlin.
