One of the great pleasures of my office in Hayes Valley is the small balcony that it opens onto and the views it affords. The War Memorial Opera House and City Hall form the background of this photograph on a rainy-end-of- April day.
Let the sun shine in later in the day:
Looking due East, I see the wonderful reds of the buildings across from me. The faded white lettering advertises the Estrella Apartments. The area has a star theme with restaurants named Stellines, Della Stella. There was also the late Blue Star records, of blessed memory.
And as I work into the gloaming (always looking for an excuse to use that word), the sky takes on a wonderful hue.
