Not enough beer
Friday. Long week. And now I’m dealing with summer traffic on “get away” Fridays–morons! I arrive home and immediately look for a cool one in the fridge… This was the view.

It’s just a crane
I know, it’s just a crane, but “big yellow” has been dangling its ball and hook on the west side of the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge for months. It’s fixture at this point, and it’s massive. Crossing the bridge heading north, I usually see it hanging its head facing the bridge. Here’s a shot from underneath of it turned away.

The other bridge
I’m feeling a bit sleep deprived today. Up at 3:30 AM, on the road at 4:00… home at around 4:00 PM. It’s a grind. Add 135 miles of driving through a major metropolitan area to the mix, multiply by 12 years… Anyway, here’s a recent shot I took of the Bay Bridge. The silver connector between San Francisco and the east Bay may not be as iconic as the Golden Gate, but it holds its own.

Overgrown and rusty
At the end of our beach walk on Sunday we took a different route back into town. This little scene caught my eye–and though I liked the color version, black and white just seemed better.
On second thought…
