Some pics from walks in #SanFrancisco the past few days.

View of UCSF Parnassus from Irving Street. I wondered why one building's lights moved funny as I walked; and that's because it's not a building yet, still a construction site without walls. I guess I should snap a photo now, since in a few months it will look quite different.

Some soap bubbles clinging to leaves let me know I'd missed the Golden Gate Park sea serpent Naga's exhalation by a few minutes.

Some chalk marks clinging to the sidewalk let me know I'd missed a Kal Zakzouk artwork by a few minutes' worth of rainfall.

A new mural's going in on the public housing building at Haight/Stanyan. It's not visible from many places, kinda hidden behind buildings.

in the foreground, a retail street. behind, dimly-lit big buildings on a hill; when you peer more closely, you notice the one on the right is under construction. above the buildings hover some cranes, confirming that construction's going on. in the very background, colors of sunrise bright green leaves. at first you might think there's a bright blue strangely-shaped flower resting on the leaves, but when you look more closely, you see it's a soap bubble reflecting something bright (the sky?) patch of sidewalk with hints of color, where chalk has mostly washed away. Most legible is a partial signature @zakikal...something hemmed in by other buildings, we see a mural taking shape on the eastern exterior wall of the new building at Haight/Stanyan. The mural has clouds styled as in an old-timey Chinese painting, sunflowers, poppies, rainbows. Some purple geometrical designs with 8-way symmetry. It's pretty bright and colorful
