The festival took over North Beach this past weekend. There were some interesting goings on, but it was very crowded.

Lots of dogs (and puppies) at the festival. This one held still long enough for a good shot

A kinetic sculpture by one of the artists at the festival. This one twirls in the wind, creating an effect like the green glass ball is perpetually rolling down the spiral.

Looking down towards Columbus at one crowd of people. I think this was where they were giving out free ice cream.

I spent this past Thursday on a photo walk through San Francisco with Matt, Olga, John, and Stephanie. It was a blast. We wandered from the Powell St. BART station up through Nob Hill and Russian Hill, Over to North Beach, and then down Telegraph Hill back through the Financial District to Market Street.

I shot over 300 photos and culled those down to 33 I've posted.

This one is at Union Square
