Good Fences make Good Fishracks?

The bloke next door likes to save the tiddlers he catches at the pier and make soup broth. Think he's from a small town in China. I have to say it really stinks something awful on a humid afternoon. The neighborhood cats like it.

We're in San Francisco. What's that gray stuff?

Hill dwellers have no idea.

The edgy ice-cream taste - leather and smoky rubber

Are Londoners really so bored with Vanilla and chocolate?

Larry of Arabia's last chopper

As usual, didn't wear a helmet coz it mussed up his 'do'.
Well he didn't come off so good - but the bike is intact at the Imperial War Museum London. Now where can I find Steve McQueen and Che Guevara's?

Training 'em to Fly Venice Beach to Santa Monica

This is where all the Swingers hang out.

Whatever they were thinking... I like it.

Cruising around Bernal Heights. Roller-coaster hills and a lot of unusual color schemes. Some of those outlandishly-hued Victorians work like a charm. Over the top? Never.

Aim low and mind the high-rise.

Every time I see this scene it feels like a highly-rendered episode of the Simpsons. OK. So I'm only the 10 millionth shooter to snap this Embarcadero mash-up. Pixels are cheap, the fog's coming in and I'm trigger-happy.

Tennessee trail on 'one of those days'.

Rarely disappoints does it!
And I must have done this walk a lot of times. The waves here are much more dramatic when you stand close to the churning gravel. It feels very primal.

Waiting for a fire - Treasure Island on the horizon.

Not much going on in the way of 'drama'. It's 'B-team' boat's turn to go out and play with the water canons.
It never gets boring when you can squirt something.

César day in San Francisco and it's a hot one.

A Mission treat, the shade of the Ginko tree.

They've just got to stop meeting like this.


My neighbor, bless him, and he's not a Muslim, can bow to Mecca all afternoon as long as there's a mechanical problem somewhere down in there - or a juicy bit of gossip. Now my knees would be killing me.

Humorous notes with a tone all their own.


I'm always bumping into these witty or charming - even 'pithy' attention-getters.
Even the most mundane can catch you unawares. Thinking this might be a series I'd like to follow for a while. So expect to see me poking around Laundromats and church vestibules in the coming months.
