A Series

An intro shot. A great bridge before a set up shot. Such that an audience knows approximentaly what to expect. Next up a set up shot. A wider angle whole view picture, a way to view before a specific set of parts. That is generally how I try and do my photos. Mostly I forget. Also the case here. But, without further ado,

The Bush-Street Cottage row historical distract is about eight houses long and thirty feet wide. A nifty little mini park.

Also the first place we walked to on our first full day in San Francisco. Not a purposeful walk mind you, just checking out the immediate area around our hotel.

I can think of a couple of mini parks in Milwaukee, but none quite the same. So completely tucked away behind a high hedge it could have easily been someone's private backyard.

It was meticuously maintained. The one lady in the park besides us, definitely gave us a look like we didn't belong. She, like everyone else, was walking her dog.

Which they clearly had a problem with dog leavings, since they had to step up the rhetoric on the sign. All the other signs I saw used euphemisms further from dog shit than this one.

Being earlyish morning, it was pretty shady in the enclave. The advantage of cover was no wind. Though some of my pictures have turned out darker than I would like, admitidly a big problem throughout the trip.

My landscape version has the flowers stand out a little more, but Kat a little less. Obviously I like the portrait version.

It was a rather brilliant open to a brilliant trip. Considering if we had chosen to walk south instead of north we would have been in a bad part of town, lucky as well.

Enjoy, jon
