Chinatown is quiet early in the morning
Chinatown, Telegraph Hill and Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, California, US - 11th March 2006
At the end of a curtailed two-week working trip to San Diego, Nosher wangles a trip to San Francisco, allowing for an entire day of exploration around somewhere that had been on the "list of places to go" for ages. The weather didn't look too promising on the flight in, with some apparently-rare snow (causing a 31-car pile-up on Route 101 in Sausalito) followed by general rain, but Saturday, although starting a bit dull, improved into a gorgeous day.

A church, intimidated by an adjacent office block
Cathay Chinese restaurant on Grant Street
A sign that looks like Bazaaa
A woman crosses the road
Further along on Grant Street
A shopkeeper opens up
Derelict redbrick apartments and fire escapes
Brightly-coloured fish
An irreverent modification to a wall mural
Back-street alleyways
Red-painted random brick wall
Peace and revolution in Mexico
More of the colourful mural up a Chinatown alley
Building murals seem to be popular
One Way street by City Lights Books
A woman with a stick struggles up a hill
Not quite the Beatles' Abbey Road album cover
A stripey crosswalk
Nice apartment buildings
A view down the hills of San Francisco
More nice houses
A view of a church from Coit Tower
A view of the Transamerica Building
Looking down from Coit Tower
looking out of the top of Coit Tower
Coins on the ledges of Coit Tower
Fisherman's Wharf, and the Golden Gate Bridge
Wall murals are everywhere near Coit tower
Wall murals of Orange farmers
Orange pickers
A view through a door
Funky urinal in a tiled cubicle
A statue stares out at Alcatraz Island
Alcatraz island and the prison
The landmark Coit Tower
Contrasting clapperboard
Lombard Street - the famous zigzag
Looking down Lombard Street
The Powell and Market tram
Chainlink fence
Another tram
Nice cast-iron balconies
Blue clapperboard and traffic lights
Blazing Saddles bike shop
A tall ship on the Hyde Street Pier
A Houdini-style entertainer escapes from shackles
A Neil Young-alike hippie plays some quailty music
The Houdini bondage guy comes over
The Route 101 ferry
A guy steams a ton of crabs
A seagull on a car
Nice contrasty sign on Pier 43 and a half
Another seagull
Another view of Alcatraz prison
Rails to nowhere
