...how very true. Silence or alone time doesn't last very long here, no matter where you are...we have something in common: San Francisco.

cheers!

Those are three really nice pictures, especially the first one with the preacher, of whom one only sees the porcupine hair with the congregation in the back. I bet it's the Rescue Mission in the Tenderloin...

But all three pictures together make a great combination of textures, shapes, patterns

Another one of your series of photographs where it looks like an eerie spaceship (here the Federal Building) landed in the City. Last time it was the round UFO in Yuerba Buena Gardens. I just love your work, as you can see by my many comments...

Ocean Beach Afternoon

Hey Zahc,

These two photos look like pastel paintings. I did a lot of landscape pastel paintings along the beach, and I could swear these are paintings. They are so lyrical. Fantastic!

Sorry Zahc, these are the paintings I meant, which look like pastel paintings. Really nice!

Great pics of the new Academy of Sciences Steinhart aquariums. Don't you love the giant Northern California tank, that's built around the corner, which you capture in your photo.

The angel fish in the second photo are very beautiful. They're not the ones commonly kept in our aquariums (pterophyllum scalare) but these are the pterophyllum altum angel fish , that live in the wild in the amazon area. They're a bit higher and slimmer.

Great work!
