San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

An old-fashioned marker embedded in the sidewalk in San Francisco, spotted on my visit there back in December.

SFO, San Francisco, California

From my trip to San Francisco in December: There’s something I find aesthetically pleasing about how the angles of the building materials interact in this airport terminal. The variable sizes of the holes in the metal grilles add a little something too.

San Francisco, California

So … yeah … that’s not my understanding of how digestive systems usually work … but that’s also a unicorn shaped like a cow. Spotted outside a candy store in San Francisco back in December.

Sutro Baths

Another view from my quick hike in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area last month. The remnants of the old Sutro Baths are at the left, along the shore.

San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

We recently went through a round of safety training at work, so the additions to this sign brought a smile to my face. Another snapshot from my visit to San Francisco last month.
