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....

Happy Halloween...Noflike Alderheljenjûn!





The gargoyle observes with disinterest as the world spins out of control





The blue wall of masks



Yn de keamer wachtsje foar de sêgen en spoeken........



Awaiting the ghosts and goblins
