Welcome

A bit of my life in San Francisco. I've been here half my life, yet still find the city exciting and challenging.

Hjir sjochsto myn libben troch de fototastellins thús yn San Fransisko. Neat bysûnder, neat bûtengewoan. Lykas it is. Kalifornje hat my thús mear as 25 jier west. Hja bliuwt noch in heimsinnich geast. Ek wol ik jimme sjen litten mear fan de wyk, mei de pleatslikke ynwenners en treasors. Tige tank foar it besyk. Graach in boadskip skriuwe. Ik sil myn bêst dwaan jimme te antwurdzje. Dit doch ik út 'e grap....

From Civic Center up Market to Noe St



The California Supreme Court



Look down Van Ness Avenue toward Market St



Veterans' Memorial. The United Nations charter was signed in this building in the Green Room.



The facade of the opera house



City Hall with the War Memorial Opera House on the right and the Veterans' Memorial Building on the left



Davies Symphony Hall with the dome of City Hall



The Board of Education Building. A heap of a run down, poorly maintained, shambles. Says volumes about the value SF politicians place on the education of youth. But one block away is a marble and gilt riot of civic buildings.



The SF Conservatory of Music near Market and Van Ness



Zuni Cafe...a San Francisco institution.



Great equestrian victory statue at Market and Dolores Sts



The United States Mint at San Francisco overlooks a collection of historic streetcars under repair at Duboce, Dolores and Market Sts



Looking up Duboce and the Muni tunnel entrance toward Buena Vista Park



The LGBTQ Center at Octavia and Market...in an inconvenient location, and a strangely configured building. Currently in a financial turmoil, but is being helped by the City.



Looking up 16th from Market toward Corona Heights
