wherever you are, there it is

You know what I love? Line. Architecture. Sky. Negative space. Light. Shadow. Reflection.

City.

I finally made my way to the Financial District of San Francisco, where I was inundated by all of the above. And thank goodness. Though I adore San Francisco's Victorian and residential charm, sometimes you just need the city. Wide sidewalks, speeding taxis, crowded crosswalks, pedestrians with purpose (none of those lollygagging tourists), honking, rushing, hustle and bustle. And of course, skyscrapers.

While I am staunchly opposed to the Transamerica Pyramid on aesthetic grounds, I admit that it is indeed the centerpiece of the San Francisco skyline. Wherever you are, whenever you look up, there it is.










see the window creeper? ^^

In my next life, I have every intention of being an architect. And the one after that, I shall be a pilot. Just in case you were wondering about my reincarnation plans...
