It's just... so... golly.

Should be a movie set, but is a dining room (15 October)
It might be possible to fool people into believing they had time traveled, this space seems so authentic. (It doesn't smell like stale cigars, however.)
Hospitality Carpets of Las Vegas (15 October)
The work of orienting people in vast spaces relies in some part on visual queues in the carpets, which... can also be disorienting. I find these remarkable.
Autumn Storm (10 October)
Clouds make skies far more interesting - and they rarely get credit for it!
Sea Lion being itself (30 Sept)
When I only see their heads, I usually guess that they are seals, and I am usually wrong!

Wrap around cornice
It's important to finish strong, and ensuring that this cornice ends appropriately was (apparently) important!
Streetcar trio (1008, 1010, 1063)
As if I don't post enough photos of these ordinarily. I did get to see streetcar #1 today, which was a special treat.
Green and Cream (SF Muni Bus in classic colors)
The shiny waistband for the bus! The cream on the wheel! I'm surprised the wheel wells didn't have rounded corners, but that is likely wise not to for safety.
Retro Bus Front (colored filter treatments)
There is something so... interesting about design from this era. The flatness! The chrome! The spaces without anything there! The double windows! The roundness of the headlights! The roundness of all the corners! It is quite engaging to look at.
Ohio delivers
The logo doesn't appear level in any of my photos facing this bus straight on, but I still really like it.
Yes, I am admitting that I attended the Muni Heritage Fair.
Muni heritage bus in 49ers colors
My friend P immediately pointed out that the cool, trapezoidal windows were often impossible to open, but I insist that they still looked cool!
Also: what's this about buses I've ridden in being declared "vintage?" Yikes.
Friday afternoon view without wildfire smoke (22 Sept)
So much better! (Sorry about the reflections - I was so excited to see colors again, I didn't immediately notice them.)
