As requested: View from my house
Here are two my partner shot a few mornings ago. The view is to the south - not the traditional views of SF which tend toward the north end of the city.

Hope ya'll enjoy! :)






Anyone else have any they'd like to share???

15. Hey, I have ranted about those a few times
in my neighborhood. It took two years, but they did outgrow them. I think they are driving now...:eyes:

10. Southwest Virginia
Edited on Fri Sep-19-03 08:57 PM by electricmonk
Roanoke to be exact. That's the view from my back porch. Up until Tuesday this week this was the view from my front window, the city finally tore the place down after 9 months.

13. A beautiful sunset is relatively rare in SF...too much fog.
Your photo looks like a great moment to take a deep breath and experience gratitude. Thanks!

9. Damn, those are nice views
All I can see when I look out my window are college kids and the Vietnamese family that live across the courtyard. I wish that one guy would put a shirt on. No pretty buildings, just sandy colored brick ones just like mine, and an ugly barbecue pit. Sigh.......

17. The view from Dolores Park is really amazing.
Edited on Fri Sep-19-03 09:44 PM by LeftCoast
It's one of my favorites. Do you do the Easter in the Park w/ the Sisters by any chance?

14. Here's a picture where
I used to live back in the late 70's. It is a few blocks from the site of the race track immortalized in the song "the camp town races."

the image has been altered some.



Now I live in the burbs. Not very interesting unless there are rainbows.

If you can guess the city, you will win a valuable prize.

A big grin.

24. Beautiful!
When you're landlocked like me it's hard to remember what any large body of water looks like. Thanks for the reminder.

P.S. Can I move in with you?
