Sportster

This morning, there seemed to be a sudden blast of fog coming in from the bay, so I decided to go out to the Sunset District to photograph in it. By the time I got there, however, it had dissipated (if indeed it was very heavy at all).

So, I took the opportunity to explore a part of the Sunset that I'd not walked in, finding a few areas that were surprisingly not all that well kept-up. I also managed to find a few older model cars to photograph.

Before long, the dim coolness I had gone prepared for became a rather bright warmth that had made me question my choice of clothing... a sweatshirt. Despite that I had a backpack and could have removed the sweatshirt, I wasn't thrilled about broadcasting the message on my t-shirt (which I will not disclose here either). On Taraval, where this was taken, a fire truck parked near where I was waiting for traffic to clear so that I could photograph the restaurant in front of which this motorcyle was parked. Three firemen got out of the truck and spoke briefly with me about my Rolleicord and went on their way to a convenience store.

As I wended my way through the Sunset in the direction of home, I discovered that I was very close to the Tiled Stairway that leads up to Golden Gate Heights, so I went there, and climbed the many steps (tiled and untiled) to the peak of the hill, where I had a nice discussion with a former resident of the city (he moved south of the city), who was re-discovering parts of the city he hadn't seen in some time.
