Stuff Shop One of the many tourist traps in our fair city. |
City Sightseeing Bus One of many of these kinds of buses going around the bus at any given time. |
The Bay Well, you can see it in the distance anyway. |
Lots of Buses Plenty of them were hanging out in this area; it's not so bad in the city as a whole. |
|
|
|

|
Magnet Kingdom Yay, magnets! |
Levi's Defense System Avast, ye scurvy off-brands! |
Hills We have hills. This is still a novelty to me. |
Pointy Building The hard part of this tour was that I still don't know any of the building names. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Our Tour That's Emily on the right; the rest are tourists. (Unlike me?) |
High-Up Sculpture Watching over the city. |
High-Up Sculpture, II It's differently cool than a gargoyle. |

|
|
|
|
||||
|
Hotel? Apartment? It's neat architecture anyway. |
Bell and Crane The city just keeps on growing. |
A Building Really, I don't have much to go with here. I suppose I could talk about the fog. |
Port of San Francisco With a nice clock, I guess. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Buildings and Wires It gets tricky trying to take pictures without wires eventually. |
Street Art Okay, not the traditional style, but more legit. |
A Bar I forget what it was exactly, but it had a long, sordid history. |
Bay Bridge It's a gorgeous bridge. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Spider Sculpture Eating small children since 1994. |
Bay Bridge, II I should probably get some proper pictures of it some time. |
Mirror Building And a lot of fog. Otherwise, no clues. |
Mostly Mirrored They're working their way up. I kindof like the effect. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
More Buildings Wires, trees, and mystery... |
Cutout Guys The random art around SF is pretty weird. |
More Architecture Knowing the building names would be much more fun. |
Sleeping Woman Sculpture Definitely interesting. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Fountain I'm sure there's a name to the fountain too. |
More Fountain At least it's not a building. |
Metreon I go here pretty regularly, it's a good theatre. |
More Pretty Buildings So many unlabelled buildings to label... |
|
|
|
|
||||
|

|
|
||||
|
Hibernia Bank It's nice when the buildings are conveniently located. |
Building and Beer Or a beer ad, anyway. |
Modern Architecture Was this the federal building, or treasury building? Something like that. |
Cute Pigeons Maybe it's true because I wrote it here. I dunno; I don't really believe it. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
More Treasury Building You can see the solar panels on top through the trees. Maybe. |
Horse Sculpture The plaque didn't show up well enough. I'm sure I'll just know eventually. |
More Sculptures Watching over the courthouse, as I recall. |
More Sculptures, II I guess those are city names. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
City Building It's a pretty building, and definitely one of the "show this off" spots. |
City Building, II There. That's a proper architecture shot. |
City Building, III I think it worked better horizontally, but I had to check. |

|
|
|
|
||||
|

|
|
||||
|
More Fire Escapes And pretty molding. |

Column and Sculpture On Fifth Avenue, I guess. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|

Dragon, III ...hey, that's not a real dragon! |
Lots of City We were pausing for a second, so I could get some rear shots. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Similar Buildings I doubt they're really leaning. |
Chinatown in the Distance There it is, our goal for lunch. |
Sculpture Store You can tell you're near Chinatown when the art appears. |
Chinatown It's a good Chinatown. Pretty. Tasty. And pretty good quality stuff. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Spire Again It's back! |
Inside Chinatown I wish I remembered what the restaurant name was. |
Inside Chinatown, II It was a pretty place, and tasty... the Green Dragon Inn? |

|
|
|
|
||||
|
Faceless Sculptures Yeah, that's creepy. |
City Lights Books One of those places that I should really stop by and see. |
The Stinking Rose More so for this one. I've actually wanted to try eating at this place for years. |
The Bell Tower There, that's a better shot. Hopefully that's what it really is, too. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Spiky Bird I wonder if it's actually effective at keeping off the pigeons. |
The Hill Again, there's terrain here. So strange. |

Lombard Street Twists and Turns! (That, and fog.) |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
||||
|
The Inquest By far the most boring machine in the place. |
Random Sub This probably would have been more interesting during the day. |
Alcatraz A pretty decent shot of the island. We didn't visit it this time; I didn't go until five months later. |
Sephiroth Break-Dancing They were break-dancing to a remix of the final battle theme from Final Fantasy VII. Really. |
