This facade faces the Chinatown neighborhood.
And this side faces the North Beach (or Little Italy neighborhood).
I cannot avoid snapping at this building which houses some apartments upstairs and a Chinese restaurant downstairs. I haven’t been to this establishment. Yelpers are not too kind to it, though.
One time while surfing the net I read one article calling this building the Jazz Building, but I cannot find any other articles that call it Jazz Building. Anybody else know why the mural and what it is for?
Hoping that you have a lovely Memorial Day weekend.

Our first sea day we were able to watch the sunset on the deck. You may notice that there seems to be no one around. It looks like that on this picture. This was when the wind picked up and it was cold, so people watched the sunset away from the wind path.
Many of you know or have noticed that I love drive by shots. I love it so much that I think nearly half of what I have in my archives is drive by. Lately, inspired by the newest meme that I am participating in 
I wish I could go out and dine in style on a MONTHLY basis, but my pocketbook says no. So I just go 1-2 a year on very special occasions. Gives me plenty of time to save up for that $12 cocktail 🙂
Highway 395 in the Eastern Sierra area is a scenic stretch of roadway. The passing scenery didn’t take away from my skywatching.

I have been living on archives lately when it comes to WW. I hope that’s fine as I still have quite a few waiting for their turn here on WW. 
This old wharf sits on its mostly wooden pilings over a sandy bottom. However, because of its location near the bay entrance, and because of debris which has built up over the years under the pier, offerings include more than just sandy-shore species of fish. Here you might catch almost any type of fish that enters the bay. Most common are white croaker, several varieties of perch, jacksmelt and topsmelt, flatfish such as sand sole, sand dabs and starry flounder, smaller rockfish, sharks, rays and skates. This pier also offers excellent crabbing for both red crabs and rock crabs. You will also often bring up Dungeness crabs, but remember that it is illegal to keep these crabs in San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay. [http://www.go-california.com/Fort-Point-Pier/]
A fine day for fishing.
A man readies his crabbing net.
A striped bass was caught.
And crab too. This is a popular spot for crabbing.
And a boy caught starfishes! Wow!
I spent a tedious yet relaxing 2+ hours browsing the archives – from one album to another looking for an image that would say “half”. My external drive holds my images from 2007 onwards and all I have that would correspond to this theme are two images. TWO! Out of thousands. So yes, I would say that this theme is difficult for me 🙂
FRANKLY MY DEAR.......
