Happy Birthday Mom!

Photos, spring 2009

Here are some photos I took in my neighborhood, and elsewhere in San Francisco, in the winter and spring of 2009. (we don't have snow so it looks the same.)

Special Section: Houses in my neighborhood There's lots of interesting houses in and around Potrero Hill where I live.

Special Section: Kansas Street There's a section of Kansas Street that you can't drive through because it's too steep. But there's a stone pathway and stairs up through some gardens. This is near Vermont St.


I was walking by an Antiques store. I usually ignore them, but this one had a big Tour Eiffel near the door. It reaches to the ceiling, you can see the size by the chair next to it. I thought of buying it for you, but where would you put it?
This is a picture of me. I didn't spend a lot of time on it, I just found it in my pictures, so here it is.

Views


I kept on trying to get a good shot of downtown SF. But there kept on being telephone wires in the way.
This brown house has a really nice view of downtown.
This picture I made by stitching together two photos I took diagonally, to get the most skyline I could. This is still with my cellphone camera; the other camera I had died last year.
This is a little bit more to the right. You can see the bay bridge that goes to Berkeley and Oakland.
This is looking southwest. The hill is Bernal Heights. I used to live on the other side of that hill, 1986-1990.
This is some luxury liner docked in the bay, as seen from the top of the hill.
This is the same view, getting close to sunset.
Very sunset.
This is a neighborhood on the east side of Potrero Hill, during sunset.
This is a beach right on the north end of San Francisco. It is surrounded on three sides by the city.
You can even see the Golden Gate Bridge from there.
