San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

A positive message to close out 2018, taken during my vacation a few weeks ago. You wouldn’t expect to see or hear any different in the Haight in San Francisco, a neighbourhood widely regarded as the birthplace of hippie culture. See you all next year! 😊

San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

So, no shenanigans … but the sanction against such behaviour might not be altogether unpleasant for some people. Spotted in the Haight-Ashbury neighbourhood in San Francisco earlier this month.

A cute sculpture in one of the outdoor spaces at the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco. Possibly the biggest penny I’ve seen in a long time!

Here is an unexpected capture, taken as I was trying for a streetscape photo from inside the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco earlier this month.

San Francisco, California

Go big or go home, they say. Spotted this giant pumpkin outside a restaurant at San Francisco’s ferry building last week.
