Subjects lit by full sun–even early sun, as here–are not my favorite.  The exception is when shadows add complexity. Someday, I am going to do a whole series focused on scaffolding.

For fifteen years after we came to San Francisco, we lived in an apartment with a sliding glass door opening from the living room onto a fire escape and large evergreen tree.  Ours was a redwood, this is a pine. Still, this scene struck a chord with me.  Image made on States Street, one of the many routes I take from my home took the Castro District.

Warm weather for San Francisco the last few days, and I have been stretching out my route to work in search of pictures.  I love this building, the open window to catch the morning breeze, and the steps cut into the steep sidewalk.
