Dismal Urban Excursions

I love gloomy weather - I thrive in it - so I was feeling chipper while SF was overcast. Plus the fog is great for shooting in 400 iso, though I'm sure I looked like a tourist x2 lugging around my digital Olympus and my film Pentax. Well it was a sad day for SF Giants fans, many of whom I saw pouring out of the stadium looking miserable and heading for the nearest bar. I'm not proud to say that I'm completely ignorant of the baseball world, but I'm glad that I could enjoy the dismal weather without defeat on my mind.


Missed an exit, crossed the Bay Bridge, and ended up on the decrepit and empty Treasure Island. Eh, at least we got a good view of the city line.



Ferry Building is always a favorite stop. Macaroni and Cheese from Cowgirl Creamery, Lotus Root Salad with Miso Sauce, and Tofu Chicken Patty with Radish for today's lunch.


At a vacated pier, we spotted a fantastic place to take pictures of the shore (those pics are on my Pentax and I will post them soon as they are developed). We also saw people doing some rudimentary fishing... I think this one is for dinner.


Cheerio climbing the green steps leading to Coit Tower. For a ten year-old, she's still enthusiastic as ever. People keep calling her "cute puppy", but in dog years she's old enough to be your granny.


  Refueling for the drive back... the hills of SF were a difficult climb!
