[city dweller]

So it took me about 3 months to get the finale up, but it's the summer and slacking is a full time job, so everything takes a little more time. These are the leftovers, or "breadcrumbs," if you will, of my trip to the one, the only, San Francisco. I also added some aerials from the plane rider over and back.

It took a fire to end its infamous days as a "by-the-hour" rental for Polk St hustler boys but now it's respectable as a residence for seniors--and now SSP has immortalized it! Bravo! :thankyouthankyou:

[city dweller]

:haha: Haha, I had no idea when I took the pic, just liked the facade. I bet most buildings in cities tend to have some strange/unique/shocking tale behind them, I've been on enough ghost tours to know that.

The San Francisco in these photographs seems so serene and pristine, if a bit melancholy and lonesome. A very interesting take on my city. Thanks.

In-fracking-credible! :tup:

Out of curiosity, why was there so much turbulence on the approach to Cleveland? Winter storms?

[peanut gallery]

Looking over your threads, you really have a good eye, city dweller. I like your style. Thanks for posting all your work here.

[Ex-Ithacan]

That was a treat c_d. Love the old time diner. And of course the pics of the city are a joy, hell, it's San Francisco. The pic of the blonde i the car at the light, seems that would fit in the short story thread in skybar. She looks...not happy. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

[Gordo]

A great set of shots! Thanks...

[city dweller]

Thanks for the comments everyone! :cheers:

Gatorbitch Squared: Out of curiosity, why was there so much turbulence on the approach to Cleveland? Winter storms?

Yeah, while San Francisco had nice weather (as usual), Cleveland was enduring the last few winter storms of the year. Although it was April and we had already had weather in the 60s and up, a massive snow storm hit (luckily I was in San Francisco for most of it) and we arrived back in Cleveland towards the end of it - there was a lot of cloud cover and some pretty intense turbulence as we descended through it (sudden drops, insane bumps, etc.) - I could barely keep the camera steady for more than a second. There were some people actually expressing their fear verbally as we spiraled downward. I thought it was fun, nonetheless!

Lovely photos.
