view of the embarcadero from the bay bridge.

[duccio]

The street along the San Francisco Bay is The Embarcadero. In the foreground is the bow and arrow of artist Claes Oldenburg. It has nothing to do with Native Americans, but refers to the famous song of Tony Bennett: I Left My Heart in San Francisco. (How vapid can a place be?) Behind that, the brick building is where the fire boats are stationed. It looks like they are all out somewhere, probably illegally fishing for abalone. The building with the tower is the Ferry Building which is right across the street from where Market Street starts. The tower was modeled after a famous mosque in Morocco. I hear we'll have to tear that down when Trump, or Cruz (the Zodiac), or Robot Rubio is President - build a Freedom Tower in it's place I suppose. Behind the tower is Alcatraz Island, future home of the Koch Bros.
