I hope you have a great weekend. We don’t plan to do much, which is going to be a good thing.
Tonight’s photo is from my last trip to San Francisco. I know they get fog all the time, but I felt lucky to experience it while I was there. As you can see, it was just starting to roll into the bay from the Pacific Ocean.

I like this city photo a bunch and I’m not really sure why. Its probably just the contrast between the old building and the new skyscraper in the background. I took this last fall while I was in San Francisco. I spent probably 8 hours over three days just walking around the city capturing random photos here and there. It will be interesting to see if you like it as much as I do. There are photos I expect to get lots of love that do and others that surprise me and don’t. But I don’t know what to expect with this one. So let’s find out.

I processed this photo last night. I forgot I even took this photo from my San Francisco trip. So, when I found the raw images on my hard drive, I went right to work editing this photo. I liked how it turned out.
This is from a courtyard between a complex of buildings in the Financial District. This lighted flower structure is the decorative top of an elevator within the courtyard.

What to post? That’s the question that plagues me just about every time I post a photo. I don’t like to post too many photos from the same area or subject matter in a row to keep you interested. But when you have thousands of photos, selecting one can be tough.
Some nights it is easy to select one, other nights I scroll for a long time. Tonight, I selected this photo from San Fran. Why? I really don’t know. I guess its just time for this photo to be released.
By the way, some of these drivers didn’t like me standing in the street to capture this pic. I can’t imagine why!!!

I rarely take photos of people when I’m off the football field. And almost never when we’re traveling… I’m just not into it most of the time. But on this day in Old San Juan, I couldn’t pass by this street performer without capturing a photo. He was just a cool cat with lots of character. By the way, you can see the cathedral (Catedral de San Juan Bautista) in the background.

I’ve loved my past trips to San Francisco. What a great city! The last time I was there, I went to Lombard Street on two difference occasions. This specific time, it was late at night. I was basically the only person there. The other time was during daylight and it was packed with cars and tourist. I liked having it to myself the best.

What is it about churches, temples, cathedrals and similar structures? I’m drawn to them for some reason and it isn’t for the religion. The obvious answer that the universe would scream back at me is “It’s the architecture stupid!!” And if its an abandoned church, well………………..
I captured this photo inside the Catedral San Juan Bautista in Old San Juan Puerto Rico.

If you were making a list of the most photographed sites in the world, I’d bet this bridge would be in the top ten list. I’ve posted a number of photos of this bridge in the past, including one less then a month ago.
I took this photo in early June from a hiking path near the Golden Gate Welcome Center on a very cold day for that time of the year.

Like all tourist who visit San Francisco, I went to see Lombard Street. I have to admit, it was fairly cool. I visited it twice during my last SF visit. I was there the first time during the daylight (bright light). So I went back the next night to photograph it during and after sunset…. That’s when I captured this beauty looking up hill.

On my first night in San Francisco, I ate dinner outside at this restaurant. It was such a cool experience just watching the people and traffic pass by my seat. And the food was great as well. I liked this spot so much, that a couple of days later I went back to photograph the building after sunset.

I’ve posted a few pictures from this cemetery in the past. This is the Capilla del Cementerio Santa Maria in old San Juan Puerto Rico. I’m not ready for this spot to be my home yet, but when the time comes….this might be a great location. It has beautiful architecture, great history, a Spanish fort and an ocean view. Wow….

I don’t know why I selected this photo for tonight’s post. Maybe I’m just looking forward to our next trip to the Caribbean. Of course, MJ still wants more African animals. Anyway, this is of the Capilla del Cementerio Santa Maria in old San Juan Puerto Rico.

I took this photo during our last trip to Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. I’ve been to Old San Juan numerous times, but I never explored the cemetery until this visit. I got lots of great photos of this spot.
Here is information on this location that I found on Puerto Rico Historic Building Drawings Society FB page. Their FB page states that this is a colonial-era cemetery that is the final resting place of many prominent residents. They started construction in 1863 outside of the walls of Fort Felipe del Morro fortress over looking the Atlantic Ocean. I found the place very interesting and beautiful in its own way.

Old San Juan is my favorite city in the Caribbean. There are a number of great cities and towns in that area of the world. But there isn’t anything like the original part of San Juan. The Spanish architecture, cobble stone streets, history, etc… The old world charm is palpable.

It’s been to long since our last visit to Barbados. What an amazing place!! Until next time, we’ll just have to look at the photos from our last trip….and dream about the next trip.

This unique complex is fairly close to the Golden Gate Bridge. I’ve posted a picture from this location in the past and explained the history in the prior post. So tonight, I’ll keep this short and just say I like the reflection and the blue in this photo.

It’s been a few years since I was in San Francisco. But I’m still not done processing photos from that trip. Sad, but true. When you take as many photos as I do, it is easy to fall behind and I jump around a bunch when I am processing photos. I never just process one trip all at once. Anyway, today I had a chance to work on some processing and I decided to work on the SF trip. As I was working on them, I finished this photo. I honestly don’t even remember taking it, but I loved it.
This is looking straight up at the Palace of Fine Arts Theater rotunda ceiling. I’ve never seen this perspective photographed before, but I’m sure its been done a 1,000 times before. I hope you like it.
Notes:
· Great game today between the University of Michigan and Michigan State University football teams.
· I’ll be photographing the Steelers vs. Cardinals NFL game tomorrow. Look for me on the sideline. I’ll be the guy getting run over by 300-pound lineman.

I know he isn’t a household name and you’ve probably never heard of him before. He played college football at the University of South Carolina and is a rookie for the San Francisco 49ers. Regardless, I liked this action photo.
Scroll down to see a close up version of this, which I also like.

Close up of the prior image.... I like this version as well.
