June 9, 2007, was an exceptionally sunny day and I took a walk in the city after dropping off others for their event. The Asian Art Museumn across from the City Hall
It was early thus the streets were largely empty
The Newly Built Public Library does not open on Sunday
The City Hall has a pretty dome, well groomed.
I took a few steps closer
A sculpture in the plaza
Lining up the sky
Museum Banner (next to the Asian Art Museum itself)
Nice and cool
They call this place "The United Nations Plaza"
Turning into Market Street, there is a lonely fountain
At the joint of Powell and Market Streets, there is a cable car turnabout, and BART entrance
Market Street, downtown shopping center
Better angle of the Cable Car Turnabout and the SF Shopping Centre
I went up Powell Street towards the Union Square
Corner of the Union Square, nice Palm Trees
Rhododendron still in full bloom, pretty color
The Central Stature high above Union Square
After million dollar renovation, the Square does appear neater than before
One of the old hotels, The Westin-St. Francis Hotel
Cafe at the Corner of the Square
Gate to Chinatown
The highrises hurt my neck looking up
Coit Tower not too far from here
Here is a cable car in motion
Tall buildings close in on me
Children's playground at the corner of Chinatown
Kearny Street leading up the hill
At a high point (Green Street), the Bay Bridge comes into view
Coit Tower was close but I didn't go there, because I am not a tourist
The famed Grace Cathedral (hey, I just passed by)
The Fairmount Hotel, place for many mega events in town
My round-trip came to the same dome
远方的小城
长大了能长足远行时 已听到了很多关于你的传说 清丽的名字在梦里回响 天长地久不断升华 我的心从传说和故事 将你绣成了女神般模样 你远在世界遥远的一角 反而更激发了我有一天 来到你身边的决心
多数人去朝拜名胜古迹 我却来看你,抑制不住砰然心跳 在我的世界里你的优雅无与伦比 是的,有人喜爱远方的小城 因为我们能够也愿意冒这个险 看望你是我今生的梦想啊 等待了许久,焦急而又耐心 那一天我来了又走了,没人看见 来访短暂,一夜情般匆匆 匆忙得都顾不上深吸一口 你浓郁的诱人的香味 没有人说得清楚 我对你的爱的真假 其实也没有人在乎 是啊,这个世界上 有多少小城远在他乡 |
