sf drive thru

I’ve been taking a lot of pictures of San Francisco from the passenger side of our car, en route to work, school, or some miscellaneous errand. These are not pictures of San Francisco landmarks — just regular photos of daily, ordinary things, like these pictures of the Inner Sunset.

The Inner Sunset is a mixed residential/business district with many colorful homes in the gingerbread Victorian style. I’ve taken about a hundred pictures so far. And I noticed they were just collecting dust in a folder on my desktop. So I thought it would be fun to put them here as another weekly feature of five per week. I’ll call it SF Drive Thru.

I spy a Smart Car!

We drove to San Francisco this morning and spent it with my Aunt Marianne, who moved into a cute little studio on Telegraph Hill. I wish I had taken more good pictures — if only direct sunlight hadn’t ruined most of my shots! Anyway, here are a few that turned out okay:

Alacatraz in the distance.

What a charming neighborhood!

The peak of Coit Tower.

My husband and I drove to The City for lunch this afternoon. These shots were taken through Downtown San Francisco, en route to Noe Valley, to a little shop where the Greatest Cannoli on Earth is supposedly made. Stay tuned…

I took some of these pictures as I drove into San Francisco’s Marina District yesterday. Can you believe I got a scolding from my husband when he learned that I took most of these shots one-handed, while driving?

Anyway, I think some of them turned out okay. This is what I see in a typical summer day in SF:

Contrary to popular belief, San Franciscans love America:

Some shops and eateries on Chestnut St. These places get really crowded for lunch and during the weekends:

More places to eat:

This is where I received my unruly hair compliment:

Heading back south. Can you see the Golden Gate Bridge?
