    Love the tomatoes! The bridge is so small yet it plays a huge role!

      Thank you, Lauren. I loved the light on those tomatoes contrasting the city scene with the Bay Bridge peeking through in the background. Glad you enjoyed this series and I appreciate your visit. 🙂

    The view from your windows are impressive. I know you said you’re not an early riser, but your ability to wake up before sunrise to have yourself and camera ready is impressive too. 🙂 🙂 🙂

      Hi David, Thanks! It’s strange how I have changed into an early riser now. It can’t be age! 🙂 🙂

        I don’t think it’s age, but I understand the older we become, we don’t need as much sleep … maybe 5-6 hours per night at most. There are certain days, I can go on as few as three hours, but that’s a holdover from my military days. There were times I had only 3-4 hours sleep in a 60 hour cycle. But, I was younger too. 🙂

    What a view! Funny, when I was a kid, San Francisco was my ‘dream city’. But then I got distracted by NYC as a teen and never looked back …until recently. San Francisco has been calling to me again as a place to drop anchor for a long while. And even more so with this post. We shall see if the winds blow us there.

      Hi Lisa, Funny, I could have sworn I answered your nice comment. Well, NYC is a wonderful place to be. I grew up in NJ so it was a big part of my early life. I’m pleased this post inspired you to put it on your travel list– someday, wouldn’t it be great to sail under the Golden Gate into the San Francisco Bay. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. 🙂

    I’ve never really thought of fog rolling back in at sunset, especially without trashing the sunset. That’s a unique and dramatic shot.

    What a fun quote that opening one is! 🙂 ‘Sunrise Lines’ really feels like SF to me – fantastic image! The curling fog in the first photo is wonderful too, and the tomatoes are charming, all lined up. ‘Full Moon at Sunrise’ is another favorite. The more minimal full moon and clouds and fog photos are great as well. But wait! You said you’ve been taking walks around the city, right? How about some of your odd, smashed, and found objects on the sidewalks? Any of those lately? And hey Jane, Happy mothers Day to you! One way or another….

      Hi Lynn, Thank you. I always appreciate your thoughts. I love the more intimate moments among the buildings in the city. And you’re right, I haven’t done much in the found art subjects lately– it’s interesting that on our walks, I am focused on getting exercise and avoiding people, so stopping and photographing doesn’t fit in somehow. You’ve got me thinking. 🙂

        It IS interesting, about changing the way one focuses, different kinds of attention, etc. Life keeps throwing new situations at us, and we adapt and evolve, and the effects may or may not be evident right away. Maybe people are paying attention a little differently online, too. There does seem to be more posting going on. I don’t know how this all has changed my own photography but it probably has. Like you said, something to think about. 🙂

    Love all these beautiful photos, but the ones of the bridge make my heart flutter. Our brief time in San Francisco allowed me to see it but not in the fog and light that you have photographed. So gorgeous!

    Beautiful collection, Jane! So many ways for the bridge to get dressed up, I can see you’d want to be looking at that all the time. I particularly like Tomatoes as an intimate look at the city, too.

    These pictures make me want to be able to fly, open the window and scoot off, jubilating to the young sun. I find the colours of Fog at sunset amazing and the image of the tomatoes I find fabulous.

      Thanks, Peter! I love the image of flying away…something I think we all want to do right now. Looking for those interesting photographic moments inside and out– glad you like the tomatoes which was a moment of “seeing” early one morning.

    “The Golden Gate Bridge’s daily strip tease from enveloping stoles of mist to full frontal glory is still the most provocative show in town.” SUCH a great twist for a title to go with superb images. Striptease in San Fran. Oscar Wilde would be proud. I certainly am
