I (Heart) San Francisco

To get to the family wedding in Northern California last weekend, we drove through San Francisco coming and going.

Oh, how I love SF architecture! Even when it's new (or new-ish), it's interesting-looking:




And when it's old, it's positively beautiful:



 Look at the trompe-l'oeil painting to the left and right of the arch:


I have no idea what the story on this crazy-looking Moorish fantasy is, but I bet it's intriguing:


Sometimes it's little things that make SF buildings so distinctive, like a touch of gilded paint:



Or some distinguishing plaques:


Or candy-box colors:





I love how SF houses play angles and curves off each other:








And, of course, I found a pug:


Ten-year old "Maximo" is the cherry on top of the sundae that is San Francisco.
