I'd rather have $3B for Stem Cell research rather than a lousy Super Bowl.

I'm just on vacations in sillicon valley and enjoing also SF. let me show you pictures from my thread http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=252038

first we went to lincoln park in NW SF, between Golden Gate and ocean
there is a museum




holocaust monument




and some bridge


then we went near the ocean








richmond district on the left




surfers on the right


then we went to SE, thru sunset district, on the top of twin peaks (280 m above sea level). views from there are great.


SF-oakland bay bridge


financial district






not bad point of view


I just had to put on my glasses


road, which we used to go to the city


castro is proud district






municipal transportation


old trams, some from italy




already near the bay. a part of oakland bridge


ferry building


there is commerce inside


bay bridge is tall, even over the city


I'm going on SW thru financial district. I stay north from market street and east from chinatown, so on small area






I didn't expect SF to be so "newyorky"
















small architecture


do you remember a movie "meet my parents"?




there is a number of old buildings between towers


transamerica pyramid - 260 m, the tallest building in SF




on many buildings there are state and national flags


TAP from near


it has original groundfloor








it is probably forbidden to go upstairs but there are cameras on the top so you can see images from the street


so nice building in front of TAP


is a scientologist center. in SF there are also masonic temples


there are plenty of banks


some of them funny












good brakes are needed


eventually I went to chinatown


the oldest church in SF is now near chineese street




I like such back streets








the sun is going down

Great Photos, really appreciate the work you guys put into it. SF is pretty no doubt about it but it always seems that there is a odd mix of old and new. I guess when some of the new buildings are build the city will look more 21 century if you know what i mean.

Actually, according to Mr.SF, Vermont Street, in San Francisco, is more crooked than Lombard. Next time I'm in San Francisco I'll have to make it to Vermont Street.

I tried to show the slow progress of the eastern part of the bay bridge, but this photo kind of sucks.
