San Francisco has been buffeted by monsoons through most of the Christmas holidays, but there was a break in the storms on Wednesday, the 28th.
Not going anywhere for the holidays has been a complete tonic, with no stress and lots of leisure.
Plus, it's always fun to pretend to be a tourist in San Francisco...
...and take the ferry boat to Sausalito.
The excuse was to treat my friend Ellen to a 50th birthday lunch.
The view and the light...
...were extraordinary.
The 4:50 PM return trip from Sausalito to the Ferry Building...
...even featured a sunset...
...framed perfectly by that old suicide magnet itself, the Golden Gate Bridge.
thank you mike, and t, for a billowy adventure between the rainstorms, and for the beautiful sunset.
ReplyDeletethough you have not photographed me at my glamourous best*, i love you forever.
plenty icky development in the topic upon which we spoke. my reactions arriving like a series of rain storms. very creeped out. karmically problematic i know, but for the moment my thoughts are not generous. andy warhol said something about land and nature being the most beautiful (yes, that andy warhol) art. i say same for weather. nature as proto art, weather as proto emotion.
and a happy new year.
xx,
