Grandpa waiting in the cold outside the hairdresser's walking back and forth to keep warm. He is dressed in a really warm coat of the type soldiers use. I guess his granddaughter is having a haircut inside and he needed a cig.
It is so cold the tree, some kind of palm, has been packed up in a winter blanket and my hands became stiff in ten minutes. There are snow flakes in the penetrating wind even though they don't show up here...but quite few and far between.

The Flickr Lounge group has chosen Geometric Shapes for the weekly theme in week 5 of 2025.
Tucked into the upscale enclave of Sea Cliff in San Francisco, this corner residence is a striking study in mid-century modernism—an unexpected but welcome contrast to its more traditional neighbors. Clean lines, minimalist facades, and an emphasis on horizontal volumes give the home its modernist credentials, while the restrained material palette—textured concrete, smooth stucco, and dark metal-framed windows—adds architectural depth. The subtle terrazzo-like façade offers visual texture without disrupting the home’s otherwise monochromatic elegance.
What makes this home especially captivating isn’t just its geometry but its context. Sea Cliff is famed for its early 20th-century mansions and Spanish Revival villas, but this residence bucks the trend, opting instead for a Zen-like simplicity reminiscent of 1960s and '70s design philosophies. Framed by meticulously sculpted trees and manicured greenery, the landscaping further underscores the influence of Japanese and California Modern design—a tranquil foreground to a boldly restrained home.
Though the architect remains unidentified, the design ethos feels informed by the likes of Edward Killingsworth or perhaps even Joseph Eichler’s influence, with its clear focus on indoor-outdoor harmony and unadorned elegance. This is modernism built for longevity—not to shout, but to last.
Located just minutes from the Lands End Lookout and China Beach, this Sea Cliff gem speaks to the power of architectural restraint in a neighborhood known for opulence. It's a quiet showstopper, and for lovers of design, an under-the-radar must-see on any San Francisco architecture tour.
Well, I couldn't resist taking another shot of this unique roof of a Scottish Water building that sits on the esplanade!

During my trip to Atlanta this week, these are views of geometric patterns seen around and about my hotel downtown. This is a view from the lower level up along the base of this fan-like structure spreading out in the lobby. You can also see the glass elevators that go up the middle of this hollowed-out building.
