Odds and Ends from wandering around the city today

I framed these two too tightly; wish I had included some of the surrounding wall. Anyway...what's inside and what's outside?

The Ferry Building, down on the Embarcadero (1898)

Inside the Ferry Building Market Place (lots and lots of shops, cafes, etc.) The building is enormous; this is just a small part

Spent lots of time looking up

3. Thanks, Solly Mack.

My wife and I were in the city for the Louis Vitton Cup portion of the America's Cup. Her employer is one of the sponsors of the event, and she was staffing a booth they had there.

Anyway, they wouldn't let me in with my camera (no "professional-type" camera equipment allowed, even though mine is an inexpensive Nikon model). So, I spent about six hours walking the Embarcadero, and through the financial district.

Took lots of shots, but only a few I thought worth sharing.

However, having made the journey sans chapeau, I did capture the most incredible lobster-tan on my face and head.

2. All great to study and enjoy

wishing I were there.
The last one is one intriguing study. Love it.

It was a gorgeous day in the city, considering how cold and foggy it often is during the summer. It was in the mid-70's, clear, not much of a breeze. Great walking around weather.

I was really pleased with the window shots, even though I wish I had framed them better; about half of the visible objects were behind the glass in the restaurant, the rest are reflections of what was behind me when I took the photo.
