I believe thees people are dressed in Vietnamese costumes as they celebrate Chinese New Year as well. I was intrigued by the designs of these costumes. Looks like the guy carrying the Target bag had spotted me with a blank stare. I also didn't realize a woman pushing a baby stroller with her dog in it was in my frame too, when I took this photo. She looked toward my direction. I am not sure whether she was looking at my camera or the folks in Vietnames costumes. One of the guys was looking up starring at something too. I love street photography in SF.
BETTER VIEW ON BLACK :-)
It's not a black and white picture but a cold and foggy evening of August (but there are also beautiful sunny days).
Brume sur la baie de San Francisco une fin d'après-midi du mois d'août.
Ce n'est pas une photo en n & blanc mais bien l'ambiance froide et brumeuse d'un soir d'été à San Francisco! Mais il y a aussi de superbes journées!

BETTER VIEW ON BLACK (L) :-)
Solitary musician close to Fisherman's Wharf - San Francisco.
Musicien solitaire, en arrivant sur Fisherman's Wharf à San Francisco.
Maiden Lane has always been a study in compression: a narrow downtown passage that quietly absorbs the rhythms of Market Street and releases them softened, filtered, almost polite. In this moment, the lane reads as a temporary room carved from the city itself. Café tables and chairs—light, colorful, intentionally unprecious—are scattered across the asphalt, turning what was once a service corridor into a place meant for lingering.
The architecture does the real work. Mid-rise facades on either side create a long, measured canyon, their materials shifting from brick to stone to glass as the lane moves east to west. Mature street trees knit the elevation together, forming a soft ceiling that lowers the scale and dampens the city’s usual urgency. The patterned pavement marking underfoot acts less like decoration and more like choreography, guiding the eye forward while reinforcing the lane’s human pace.
Nothing here feels theatrical. The storefronts remain reserved, the windows reflective but not performative. Even the furniture seems provisional, as if it knows this is an experiment rather than a final answer. That restraint is what makes the scene so legible at a glance: one idea, clearly stated. Downtown San Francisco briefly pauses, not to reinvent itself, but to remember that streets can be rooms, and rooms can invite calm.
Maiden Lane has hosted many versions of urban ambition over the decades. This one favors quiet confidence over spectacle—a modest intervention that lets scale, proportion, and patience do the talking.

In the early 70′s, the young Maxime le Forestier, 21, spent a month in a house of San Francisco, experiencing the life of a hippie community. One or two years later, this stay inspired him to write the song San Francisco: "There is a sky blue house/Built right up against the hill/ They all come on foot/they don’t knock on door/ Those who’re living here/got rid of the key".
The song was an immediate success and launched the career of the French singer. 40 years later, he returns to San Francisco to commemorate the newly re-painted house.
This "Blue House" is not really authentic which speaks Maxime Le Forestier , but you will forgive me , I hope.
True it looks like a sister :-) . Both are typical Victorian San Francisco.
The " Blue House" Maxime Le Forestier is located at 3841 18th Street in the Castro and not like this in the Haight Asbury .
On the occasion of the 40 year career of Maxime Le Forestier, his record company offers home owners - who in the meantime has been painted light green - to restore its blue color. On 21 June 2011, the singer gives the last stroke and 22 a plate is affixed with " In 1970, Maxime Le Forestier was inspired by the blue house for writing one of his earliest success.

Au début des années 70, à 21 ans, Maxime Le Forestier passa un mois dans une maison à San Francisco, expérimentant la vie d'une communauté hippy. Un ou deux ans plus tard, ce séjour lui inspira la chanson: C'est une maison bleue...
Celle-ci n'est pas vraiment l'authentique "maison bleue" dont parle Maxime Le Forestier, mais vous me pardonnerez, je l'espère.
La vraie lui ressemble comme une sœur :-) .Toutes deux sont de style victorien typique de San Francisco.
La "maison bleue" de Maxime Le Forestier est située au 3841 de la 18e rue dans le Castro et non pas comme celle-ci dans le quartier de Haight Asbury.
À l'occasion des 40 ans de carrière de Maxime Le Forestier, sa maison de disques propose aux propriétaires de la maison – qui entre temps a été peinte en vert clair – de lui redonner sa couleur bleue. Le 21 juin 2011, le chanteur donne le dernier coup de pinceau et le 22, une plaque y est apposée portant l'inscription: "En 1970, Maxime Le Forestier s'est inspiré de cette maison bleue pour l'écriture d'un de ses tout premiers succès.

While we were strolling around in the Mission District, we came across this Victorian house with bright blue colors and intricate crown mouldings. It was very eye-catching. Without hesitation, I took this ultra wide angle shot with my phone. I typically don't carry any ultrawide angle lens for my camera these days whenever I walk about the city. The ultrawide on my phone is good enough.
