  • Thursday, August 14

    I headed off after work Howard to 11th to Harrison to Mariposa to York.  York is another street in the Eastern Mission that I haven't spent a lot of time on and there's a lot to see:

    Dome great tenement style buildings:

    The whole facade of this building is fabulous.  The big tree obscures most of it:

    .

    I can't figure out what has been done to the first level of this building.  It's all wrong.  It's almost as itf it was assembled from other buildings:

    How incredible is this mural.  So detailed and so vibrant:

    Cute little cottage:

    Cool industrial building:

    I took York to 26th to Bryant to Precita.  How fabulous are the murals on this building??  The murals in the mission are amazing.  I've never seen anything quite like them anywhere:

      

    I took Precita to Mission to 29th to San Jose to Wilder to Diamond to Monterey to Ridgewood to Flood to Hazelwood to Greenwood to Plymouth to Wildwood to Faxon to Holloway to Montecello to Estero to Lunado to Winston to Lake Merced to Skyline to the Great Highway where  I saw a big flock of birds heading south.  Summer is nearly over.

    Me on the Great Highway:

    I took the Great Highway to Vicente to 18th to Taravel to Merced to Hernandez to Laguna Honda to Portola where I noted that the fog was incredibly thick.  Yuck:

    I continued on Portola to Corbett to Ord and then home for dinner.
