BC Ferries, Moon, Dolores, Bernal, Sutro

The wake behind a BC Ferry:

The moon from 35,000 feet over Oregon:

And here’s a blind shot that worked out rather nicely: Dolores, La Lengua, Bernal in late afternoon shadow — and Sutro peeking out from the bottom.

Dolores Pork

Big day for pigs in the park:

(That’s a BBQ on the bottom of my inadvertently cropped shot, in case you can’t tell.)

And then there was “Bill” selling his delicious bacon potato chips. Note my totally intentional use of shadow and exposure to protect his identity from the food authorities, never mind the feared Ryan “Chiccarones” Farr).

They were still warm. Mmmm….

WTF, Google Maps?

While I have come to appreciate concrete typos from the DPT, I expect better quality control from our mapping overlords.


Dolores Hula Kids

March 30, 2009

On Saturday, these two kids were going to town with their hula hoops.

The hula girl was hooping while practically standing still. Amazing.  The boy failed miserably at first, but then figured it out (while using far more hip action).

Got several ovations from the suntanning Doloresos.


Dolores Park Breaks 70, We Break 360

March 28, 2009

I love this city.  It breaks 60 and we all act like it’s 80.

10,000 pixels wide 360 (actually more like 380), click to zoom.

Ganja treats man and the ice cream man are battling it out on the left hand side.  This while 7 cops arrested some dude, reasons unknown.  They walked right by GTM as they left the park.

(Panorama on the iPhone seems to get horribly confused by trees.)

Bernalrama – Sutro to Candlestick, and Mission in between

November 30, 2008

Mission, I see all of you (and then some).

Click to embiggen (and click again if your browser autosizes wide images). New 2.0 version of Panorama lets you make ridiculously wide (or tall) pictures on an iPhone. But both bridges, 270 degrees or so, not too shabby.

The scary part is it being 70 degrees – should I really be able to wear shorts when it’s nearly December?

The Dolores shots are actually from the weekend before last, but regardless, we’re going to have an Indian Winter if this keeps up.
