Life is a horrible little giggle in the midst of a forced death march towards hell.

So today there was an end to the rain. To celebrate I went on a walk. I walked from my apartment near Union Square into the Financial District to meet Tanya for lunch. Then I walked to the Ferry Building and along the Embarcadaro. I came back up Howard and back through Union Square home. Here are some pictures to illustrate why I enjoy SF.

When buildings and art become one:





























Big buildings in general. I find them to be soothing. Like a big stack of books. Okay, maybe not that soothing, but still pretty good.































































The Pepsi campaign. I don't like Pepsi. But this campaign works for me.



















































Dirty Indian food.

















The Embarcadaro. It's my favorite place to walk.












Britex. Four fabulous floors of fabric.


















I mean, come on.












Many flower vendors. I was at Geary and Stockton and 3 of the corners had flower vendors.












Random sculptures. Everywhere.






































































































































Street cars.

























And, of course, cable cars.
