You can return to a place over and over, gazing out upon a familiar skyline framed by a familiar landscape … but capture it under a partly cloudy sky and you’ve got a scene you will likely never see again.
This is San Francisco, with lovely clouds courtesy Mother Nature, seen from Torpedo Wharf on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in November.

It seems wherever I’ve gone, I end up coming across a pair of shoes (or more) flung over utility wires. This bunch of shoes was spotted over an alley in The Mission in San Francisco.

Thought I’d have some fun with this old-looking storefront in San Francisco and attempt to make the image look old, too.

Check out the front roll sign … That looks like it could be an interesting bus ride! Spotted in San Francisco at the beginning of the month.
