Another Nokia N95 photo, this one taken from the Market St. side of the craft market at the ferry building (you can see the ferry building’s neon sign in the background).
These stalls have some interesting art and photos for sale, as well as clothing and other items.
One of a number of shots taken with my new Nokia N95. For a mobile phone this thing has an outstanding camera. Five megapixel resolution, Carl Zeiss auto-focus lens (not the regular fixed focus) and a whole host of features you expect on a camera but not on a phone camera.
Check out the other photos I’ve taken using the N95 in my Nokia N95 set on Flickr.
Another photo of my favourite bridge – well, favourite in terms of photographic subject; I don’t think I’d consider it a favourite to drive over. Luckily for me, I don’t do that too often these days, instead racing under the bridge in relative comfort each morning and evening on either the Encinal or the Peralta.
Encinal, one of the two Alameda-Oakland ferries, races under the bay bridge heading towards the SF ferry building last night.
Unfortunately, when she arrived the line of commuters waiting patiently for her to take them home were informed that she had a small mechanical problem and couldn’t make the return journey to Alameda and Oakland.
Sat down at the ferry terminal this evening on my way home, and next to me on the seat somebody had left a copy of San Francsico Bay Area Homes Magazine.com (that .com really is there on the cover!). On the back cover was the photo I’ve added to this post, and a summary description of a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom house in San Francisco’s Seacliff area.
I remembered reading about this house a few weeks back, but couldn’t remember what the story was. Tonight, I found the story again. The house is owned by Gateway Computers’ founder’s wife, but they’ve never lived in it. Instead, they spent a small fortune (around 8 houses here at Bayport worth) in rennovations and now have the property on the market for $25.9M. And the real estate agent believes somebody will buy this as a second or third house and pay cash for it! I’m in the wrong business 🙁
The folks over at Urban Bay Properties have a web page devoted to the neighbourhoods of the East Bay, and right there in the top right corner of the grid is Alameda – represented by this photo. It is worth clicking into the Alameda section too though for an amazing photo of the USS Hornet by takenpictures.
Not necessarily the sign you want to see, especially if it is on a road you use every day. One has to wonder whether they have a faster construction zone somewhere else 🙂
Taken somewhere in San Francisco, but where? Anybody care to guess where this rusty cow can be found?
