I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO

THIS past weekend I had an amazing time in San Francisco.
For those of you who are my friends on Facebook then you have access to all of my photos that I posted.
For those that I email here are a few of the shots that I took on this sunny, amazing, beautiful day in the city by the bay.

SUNNY SUNDAY IN SAN FRANCISCO

This was my "Paris Street Rainy Day" moment.
There is a famous French Impressionist named Caillebotte.
I believe it is my job to record life as I am experiencing it for future generations to see.
After I took this photo I burst into tears.  It hit me like a ton of bricks.
And the day was a special Sunday where they shut down the street and allow only pedestrians and people on skates and bikes. 




Oakland Bridge at Ferry Building Wharf


WORLD FAMOUS CASTRO THEATRE




CONSERVATORY OF FLOWERS 
Golden Gate Park in San Francisco


NATIONAL AIDS MEMORIAL GROVE 
Sitting at the CIRCLE OF FRIENDS 
I have been wanting to see this memorial for a few years now.  Finally made it.
It is a stunning "living" memorial to those we lost, for those living with AIDS and for future generations to look back on and say "What was AIDS?"

  1. Hello Gerry thanks, for your support. For LGBT
    community do I favor San Francisco the example.
    For American Gay liberation and struggle. This
    myth, tired of this distorted view. Point, Gerry no your intent with article referring. To picturespque: ambiance of the city no doubt. San Francisco continues to influence those visiting. My argument the aloof regional out look. Of the Gay community before say. Base upon what, segregated areas of Gay influence. My experience while residing in San Francisco. Majority into elite attitude of Gay community. Exclusion is normal Gerry you appropriate. Well your Attractive older White male but within. San Francisco the objective "Status" are you wealthy? Hello before it was simple cruising! Gerry you'll say is this personal displeasure? No Gerry I travel extensively I'm from Brazil. Fluent in 7 languages, what capture me. Racism
    and regionalism of San Francisco: if non White.
    Certain clubs in Folsom,Noe Valley and Diamond Heights. Exclude you see my former friend was.
    Dutch even he notice this: Gerry since. Travel
    to SF Gays believe they control San Francisco.
    Economically, tell me majority are general labor. Still large conservative old monied families. Whom dislike the association of San Francisco. Gay movement anyhow, I enjoy your
    blog. Presently, reside in Lyon Fr anger France. Defeated marriage June 14 2011 going to
    repeal this Sept 2011! But this my response to
    San Francisco. Stop Mr. Jock image of today's
    Gay male. Learn to respect of geographical struggles. To make successful Gay Community.
    Gerry while visiting southern California everyone. Is welcome in Gay community, this my
    opinion. Maybe they call San Francisco San Csstro? Since the elite ...dislike outsiders!
