Riding my bike down the path to Venice Beach I saw these towering pink trees. Where are the giant Flamingos?
Boscoe in the Museum Garden
Giant Banana Slug behind Bolinas Market
I think that's Josh messing with public property again
I really like this one a lot!
Just a little bit of light can make all the difference in an image, an idea, etc. All the more reason to pay attention to the details.
Early morning negative tide exposes sand and barnacled rocks. Small Southwest Swell. It got pretty good with the mid-day high tide.
This matte grey chevy pick-up was parked just off of Bryant St. in the inner Mission Saturday evening on my way to Universal Cafe for dinner. A classic ride in grey primer.
Max and I were on our way to check out a new house with ocean view in Miramar yesterday afternoon when this brilliant green pond came into view. The iPhone does an awesome job with impressionistic images like this.
Chris Johanson, the San Francisco Mission school artist, put on a great show last night with 17th and Capp at the SFMOMA
with an eclectic crowd, great music and fun vibe. Max and I enjoyed the scene, checked out some of the current exhibits and generally enjoyed the space. Thank you SFMOMA and Mario Botta for an awesome evening. Here are some images.....
This week we had a lot of crazy stormy weather and finally yesterday, the sky started to clear. It was not the hard bright light of a clear blue sky, but the soft grey light that illuminates every nook and cranny of a scene like this. My favorite light for almost any subject.
Isn't this somewhat ironic given the current sex scandal that is hanging over the catholic church.
The sculpture, created by artist Paul Vella Critien, has been on show in the town of Luqa since 2006. It sits at the entrance to the town, near the planned route for the Pope's visit. It is said to represent a symbol dating back to ancient Egypt.
Critien was unrepentant about the statue, calling his critics "ignorant" and "uneducated."
Others have shown their support for the work of art. A Facebook group called 'Save the Z--- Monument' has been set up, with other 1,300 members at the time of writing.
The groups creator is candid in his support of the monument. "Look: I don't like having a massive erect penis slap bang outside our airport either... but everybody accepted it until the Pope decided to pay us a visit," writes Raphael Vassallo in the group's description.
"If it's good enough for the LIDL [a European supermarket chain] roundabout then it's good enough for Pope Benedict XVI."
Walking the dog Boscoe along the Half Moon Bay harbor trail this afternoon, I couldn't help but notice this bizarre still life of rusted lamp-post, found drift wood and odd metal stakes. For some reason it reminded me of Picasso's Guernica. It's not really similar at all!
