During these days of fiscal restraint I am filling some of my free time by taking pictures and exploring the city of San Francisco. During the week many of my favorite places to go and think are almost empty. While the world works I look forward and back through the eye of my camera.
This should be a car ad. But alas it is only my humble I30 resting under the Golden Gate Bridge.
Ever wonder where a retired lighthouse goes? I found this behind an abandoned warehouse on The Presidio. Sort of sad in way that this eye in the bay now quietly rots away unseen.
More scrap. This is a piece of a ship. From a distance ot looked more like an erector set project. Up close it still retains that toy look although the actual size dwarfed my car.
A piece of the old fort.
These are a set of row houses on The Presidio. You can almost imagine the days when young military families filled these houses. The Presidio is a city within the city of San Francisco.

I love the way SF is a city of ultra new and historic old. There are many churches and other wonderful buildings tucked into neighborhoods all over town.
You've seen this place in many movies over the years. Few people outside of SF realize that this is also the downtown shopping center.
