Walking through downtown San Francisco a few weeks back, I was struck by this view of one of the upscale alleys off Union Square. I like the sense that stacks and stacks of buildings are compressing the space. Just when it starts to feel claustrophobic, though, my eye is drawn to the people at the very bottom of the frame, which puts the whole view into perspective.

Golden Gate

Bridge and City
By 24thcentury on 20th February, 2007.
Took a detour returning to San Francisco on Monday and caught these long exposure shots of the Golden Gate bridge from the Marin Headlands park.
I really like the touch of blue in the first sky (it was just the tail end of dusk) and the reflection in the bay. And I like the framing in the second - how your eye is drawn through the bridge cables to the lights of the city.

Happy Valentine's Day
The roses and balloons were out in force all over the city. From red hearts on a Market Street corner to these many cubic meters of roses (mostly, but not entirely, red) at a florist stand in the Crocker Galleria.

White Bench and Fountain
The morning light gives this old bench and fountain a dramatic tone. This shot has inspired a continuing set of bench photos.

26 Things is a "photographic scavenger hunt" initiated by blogger Tracey at sh1ft.org. She posts a list of 26 words or phrases and folks take photos and post them to the Flickr group.
I managed to find 16 this month. Most were on the spot, some were envisioned and hunted for, and a few were posed. It's a fun way to get out of a photo-taking rut and look at the world seeking good photos.
