I took some pictures on the Oakland bay bridge, the same bridge we took that adventure walk on the last time we went to the bay area. That is a nice view of the city right there.
Watching the fog roll in is never the same twice.
And then I spotted this truck…
B.A.T.S…. which is funny… traffic solutions??? Really??? Because this is what we were stuck in…
Right smack dab in the middle of the bat s*#t…
It took us more than an hour to get over the bridge.
But I did have time to take more pictures of the fog rolling in.
And we were on our way to see Willie and Big Johnny and Eva, so…
Oh, and then, driving through the city, I saw this building. I don’t know what the picture is meant to be exactly…
But, come on, you gotta love San Francisco…



















I love the painting on the wall of the building. But I would go nuts in that much traffic! Not to mention all that exhaust everyone is breathing!
They have cities where you live too…
I live in a city, cookaloo! But we have public transportation & people use it! And even though we get snow here, a lot of people ride bikes to & from work.
San Francisco has one of the best public transportation set ups in the country… but there are a lot of people in a small area.
o/ Sittin’ on the top of the bridge, watchin’ the fah-ah-ah-ahg rollin’ in…o/
headed for the ‘Frisco bay, baby!
Some magnificent shots there. I love the ones of the clouds. They are spectacular
fog… never insult fog by calling it clouds
Sorry, fog
much better
I love watching that fog roll in. That’s always to cool to watch. Lovely pics.
Fog is so cool…
I live in the city and I love the way the fog rolls in. It’s truly fascinating, to me, anyway. Good pics!
yay
Ominous fog. I was stuck n a bridge too last week, I was going from London to Whitstable on the Kent coast. I took no photos of course. Shame as it was quaint.
share the quaintness
Next time, my friends are moving there so I’ll be back in a couple of months.
yay
They wanted me to go to but Whitstablesurvival is too much of a mouthful
yeah it is
Oh, I want to go to San Fran. I’ve only driven through to get to Napa. That is definitely on a list for the near future 🙂 ENJOY!
You need to pull over next time.
I need to spend more time there!
Everybody does.
Hmmm, looks a bit Monty Pythonesque. You know, the big foot (size 15 I think it was) that came down from the sky and squished people. Ha! Here’s a burrito in case you got hungry in the line up. 🌯 I discovered this emoticon in the depths of wordpress and am trying to figure out why there would be a burrito icon and what it would be used for. I’m working it into conversations, kind of easy like.
Anyway, cool pics. Really gives a sense of the size of city. Love the fog “on cats’s feet” (funny how tall structures stick out of the top of the fog – looks surreal). I’m from Halifax and we have similar fog issues there. The BATS truck is particularly poignant, n’est pas? Traffic driving you bats? Ha! Have another burrito – lots ot go around. 🌯 😀
burritos always come in handy
Can’t make the bridge by walking anymore, memories of days through youth….
What’s that tall thing in the back ground?
It’s the Sutro Tower, which serves as a signal transmission tower for the city. It’s now a San Francisco landmark.
also known as Coit tower, isn’t it?
The Coit Tower is the one that resembles the end of a fire-hose and it’s shown in your second picture from the top. The Sutro Tower is the one shown in the third picture from the bottom, above the two artistic graffiti photos. Probably should have asked which tall thing in the background @toad2014 was referring to.
You mean that big antenna thing has a name? Why did I not know this?
Yup. Everything has to have a name, right. You can’t just call it “that big antenna thing that is always sticking up above the fog,” right?
good point… maybe I used to know that and forgot. You sort of stop looking at it after a while.
Cool, thanks for answering.
we are learning stuff now
We are? Like what?
I forget
Great, now your lost too!
I started out lost
methinks we best go back and start again…
we always do
thinks that made say. humm….

Do you have any clue to what i’m saying at least 20% of the time?

Not even 21%….?

Why you’re to kind!
I am two of a kind

No! Pebbles from the hood?
no idea who that is
ha, ha a ha ha…
yup
oh… you might mean Coit tower… they used to signal the sailing ships from there with wooden pennants.
Has your ship come in?
it sank
Is not the captain suppose to go down with the ship?
not anymore
What do mean not anymore?
who knows?
Glad you made sense of what i was trying to say, because i sure didn’t…
who needs sense?
especially common sense!
Yeah… it’s so… common…
who can sense out of common sense certainly i cannot.
I have no scents
Tell me something i don’t already know….
