    Wednesday was a gorgeous day in San Francisco.  It was in the seventies mid day and the sun was shinin’ and the birds were singin’ and the junkies were relatively sedate.  I got a few pics as I headed home for lunch.  This is the pretty Phelan building at Market and Grant:

    The pretty 1937 SFMart building:

    Fabulous deco Maya revival detail:

    After work I headed off Sutter to Steiner.  This is pretty St. Ignatius:

    With lovely gothic-licious detail:

    I continued on Steiner to Sacramento to Arguello.  This may be the best angle to view the Synagogue on Arguello from:

    I took Arguello to Cabrillo to Funston and into Golden Gate Park at the Rose Garden.  It’s been a good year for the Rose Garden and everything was in bloom:

    Me:

    I headed over to Stow Lake for pics of the Chinese Pavilion:

    Such fabulous detail:

    Ducks!

    I got on MLK and headed west.  Golden Gate Park is heavily forested in parts and looks fantastic:

    The is is the South Windmill which seems to be nearing completion:

    The top of the windmill which looks ready to go on:

    I came out of the Park at La Playa.  I love this building on La Playa at Irving with it’s crazy color palette.  “Out of my way, nature!”:

    I took La Playa to Kirkham to 5th to Parnassus to Shraeder to Grattan to Cole to Camel to Clayton to Corbett to Ord and home for dinner.  I barely was able to stay up til 9.  Long day.
