If you don't live in S.F. or even if you do I suppose, it is The City. BART takes me there. It was a cold day in The City. I did remember to bring my camera although I didn't take it out much...
This one is so happy and colorful and 1950's I wanted to capture it. And the palm trees remind me of Herb Caen who was aghast at the idea of putting palm trees at the Embarcadero. He felt they were too L.A. So, I think of him as I see them thrive.
The last photo...hmm, I certainly don't understand really. These public toilets have escaped my attention. I do remember some type of controversy about them, I believe it had to do with homeless people using them but I'm not sure. What intrigues me is the symbol for a fallout shelter on them....

I'm somehow surprised by the palm trees. I never really notice them in San Francisco....maybe I'm just so out of breath from the hills & thinking about the eucalyptus and redwoods!!

Exactly Sue, they are out of place but it's surprising what a person gets used to...now I picture them there when I think of the Embarcadero!
