this morning
still trying to learn how to use my camera and new glass... took a few hours off from work to walk across the bridge and enjoy a cup of espresso on Haight St

1. Wow, I've never seen that sign on the GG
Of course, there's no phone number.

Nice shots.

2. the phone is below the sign
I was trying to get a good shot of the sign directly above the water... I had a wide angle lens but I am just not tall enough to get the shot I wanted and if I had started to climb... the cops would have come and I would have caused quite a stir...








so many times I want to get a shot of something but circumstances get in the way... a model was posing on Haight St and I wanted to get a shot of "the shoot" but I felt very self-conscious... took a quick one but it was pretty bad...



and I got some awesome photos of my daughter but don't think she wants her pic on here

3. Ah, good they supply the phone
Were the legs out the window part of the shoot, or are those a permanent addition to Haight Street? Love them.

5. I feel so very lucky to get to see where you go - and to get to see it in
your fascinating shots. It makes my Wanderlust percolate and makes me want to get out of here for a while.
You are showing a wide spectrum of real life as you saw it that day.
:thumbsup:

7. I always enjoy going along
on "walks" will this photo group. What fantastic sights!

Very nice photos. I really like the fog/bridge photo (I'm a bit partial to fog photos) and the hats! Nice job! I enjoyed your walk too! ;-)

8. The second Golden Gate is a postcard.
That's how good it is. It takes me there and makes me pull my collar up a bit in response.
Very nice, thanx for sharing.
