Merry Christmas

to all visitors of my blog.

The building is the former Bank of America or 555 California Street. The building is second in height to the Transamerica Pyramid and 31st tallest in the US. If I'm not mistaken, the Pyramid reflects in the windows of the building. This certainly wasn't intended and I am surprised to see it.

Transamerica Pyramid

another picture from the Transamerica Pyramid Building. I was standing right next to it. Very impressive building.

shop window

Today I came across this interesting display window. I found it very creative and special. It was not a cactus or flower shop though.

In case you wonder ...

... what that thing is? - It's an elevator coming from the basement
... what these metal doors in sideways are for? - Sometimes they open up to stairs going into a basement of a store, or like in this case for an elevator.
... why the picture is that bad? - It was shot in rainy weather, evening and with an iPhone, running by. But I won't blame the iPhone though.

Theme Day: waiting ...

... for the next train was my first thought, when I saw the choice of December Theme Day.

Fall

That's how I love fall, blue sky and trees turning yellow! And yes, there are some trees changing colors even in SF. However you can still see flowers in the winter!
Have a good weekend everyone.

United States Mint San Francisco

I was wondering what this big building located higher up at Market Street, is. Now I know. It is the
United States Mint at San Francisco. This building was built in 1937 and workers moved from the old facility to this new building. I hope I'll be able to take a picture of the old building, which is turned into a museum, too.

Halloween front yard

I hope I don't bore anyone with all these Halloween pictures, but it's only once a year and the art of decorating houses and even front yards are great motives.

Halloween doorway

Yesterday was Halloween and the Theme Day of CityDailyPhoto bloggers is "Doorways". I thought I combine both and show you another picture how people decorate their houses at this time of the year.
