Dry Cleaners
I was listening to the tour guides. Really, I was. But the inside of the confusingly-named dry cleaners required some photographic attention. And who better to provide it? (Other than, probably, nearly anyone else with a camera. But still.)

PS. My rules keep expanding. Now we’re up to:
1. Look around back.
2. Look up.
3. Look the other direction.
4. Look through the window, if it’s a business or something and you’re not going to be creeping on someone just trying to enjoy a quiet day at home.
Neon-less Neon
Here’s another image of a neon sign, which obviously is in need of some attention. It was on the same amazing tour that I mentioned in this post.

Here’s another shot that looks like I was trying to channel my inner MC Escher.

the roof of the night
So, the fog was moving in because that’s what fog does. I looked out the hotel room window and the top of this building was completely obscured. And then, approximately one second later, it looked like this.
And, because I want to be reasonably accurate with this stuff, I looked up the building – it was easy to find because our cab driver had told us (correctly) that it was the tallest building in the city. And that’s how I learned this most amazing thing:
The crown of the tower features a nine-story electronic sculpture, “Day for Night”, created by artist Jim Campbell that features low resolution, abstract videos of San Francisco that will be filmed each day. At its activation on May 21, 2018, it was considered the tallest public art piece in the world.
So that blue part at the top is art! Amazing. And it explains why one night the top of the building looked like blue watery reflections and on another night, there were (large)(VERY) silhouettes of dancers, as you can see from this in-and-out-of-focus video:
It was way cool!

Window shopping: hats
I sure do like a good hat, which makes me also like a good hat store.
