Sorry I missed the hunt last week! I was just getting home from our anniversary trip to San Francisco and I had SO many pictures to look through and share. You will have to forgive me because most of these pictures are from last week, and for some of the prompts I had to share more than one picture!
Monochromatic
When my husband and I walked through Chinatown on our first night in San Francisco, we passed by the Bank of America. The walls of the entrance to the bank were shiny and golden, so I had to stop and take a second look. They were just little tiles painted gold, but they looked pretty impressive at night.
Forgive me for posting two pictures for this prompt, but I had to share a picture of the metal panels and rivets of the Golden Gate Bridge. Seeing the bridge was one of the highlights of my visit, and you can see more pictures here.
Starts with the Letter...
This is some graffiti that I found while traveling around San Francisco. I can't really tell you what it says, but I know it starts with the letter J!
Upside Down
This is the inside of the dome of the Palace of Fine Arts in SF. I do not have a wide angle lens, so I actually laid down on the ground to get as much of the dome in the picture as I could. So I guess you could say I put my up-side down to get this photo.
Hair
In many shops in Chinatown they sold these lovely dolls, and as you can see they had elaborate costumes and hairstyles.
Soft
This is my "soft" picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, since it is shrouded in fog. I waited at Battery Spencer for quite a while for the fog to lift, and you can see the picture without fog here.
I did not actually touch this seagull perched on the railing of the pier, but I probably could have because he wasn't very shy! I am pretty sure that he was soft and downy.
I have a few more posts to do about my trip to San Francisco, so feel free to come back and check them out!
Looks like you had a great trip to San Francisco. Love the fog surrounding the Golden Gate, graffiti always amazes me! So colorful and well-done. It requires so much talent to deface a building! Beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteWow...can you just stop at places ON the Goldlen Gate Bridge to take a photo? I didn't know that. I need to go back :)
ReplyDeleteI looooove your upside down but the monochromatic is actually really pretty (the BofA building)

ReplyDeleteIt's been years since I went through San Francisco but your right the Golden Gate is pretty impressive. Your shot of it for Monochromatic is such a different take. I also like the Soft shot of the bridge in the mist.
