San Francisco Photo of the Day

[germanartist]

Photo 1: I like the composition the dark abstract rectangular and triangular shapes create.

Photo 5: It's almost as if you captured the passing of time in one photograph, rather than a moving video. This is achieved by the repetition of identical objects, the trees, and the pathway, which almost look like frames in a film. At the beginning is the person in the foreground, and a little while later, this same person walks in the distance.

Photo 6: The apparition of the trees in bloom looks magical, against the bare wood that surrounds them.

Photo 7: I like the juxtaposition of the religious symbols of East and West, the pagoda and the church steeple.

Great Work!

Holy cow! I hope they're making some good money from this ad! That's a bit crazy IMO.

I like how the overlapping geometric shapes in photo 3 create three dimensional space.

Wonderful photos. You show the pigeon from a very unusual angle, and its pattern reminds me of a NASA photo of a hurricane. Photo No 3 is just lovely. It perfectly shows the hilly topography of our city, as well as the different mini-climate zones. Some areas may be covered in fog, while other, close-by areas are lit with sunshine. Also, the photo captures the different architectural styles of the city. Photo No 4 is my favorite. Fractions of mostly windowless house walls, utility poles, public announcement speakers/sirens, smoke stacks, create a wonderful abstract composition of shapes, gentle colors, patterns, giving a distinct urban flavor, run-down, decrepit even, and yet, when seen through your eyes, beautiful.

I the first photo, I really like the contrast between the jumbled mess of steel containers and heavy machinery in the foreground and the very clean lines of the building.

All photos show, that nature is alive and well, even voluptuously so, in San Franciso.

Last photo: Love the unusual curves of the tree against the lovely mottled backdrop of the clouds in the blue sky.

I just LOVE your three photos of smokestacks. Each composition is sublime. Lovely colors. Each has its own character. They're alive...

Amazing architecture... by humans ( in the first photos) and by nature (second picture)

Thanks for the lovely photographs! I live in the Sunset, and this residential area, Golden Gate Heights, with the aptly named Grand View Park on top of the hill, to me, is the jewel of the Sunset. I'm glad to see it represented here at Urban Planet. The view from Grand View Park is truly jaw dropping. You see the whole length of the City, and the panorama of the Pacific Ocean is so wide, that it is curved, following the curve of the earth (or am I imagining it?).
