Stairs of San Francisco










Dear Em Ci Twin and friends,

 What started the SF stairs search for me was the cover
picture of a book called "Stairwalks of San Francisco"
which led me to:

- The Mosaic Stairs (16th ave. and Moraga) It is just
beautiful, I took tons :-) of pics of it once in the evening
and another time in the morning with the fog hovering
at the top. There are a total of 163 steps (double and
tripled checked :-) as I went up and down and up and
down the steps... it gets really tough about the 3rd 
time around at steps 145 for me hi hi 

- The Twin Peaks stairs (pic2)  as I climbed up the South (I
think) peaks  and it's Twin stairs seen from the top of the
South (I think :-)) peak (pic3)  The 360 view of SF is 
breathtaking (when there's no fog, and we were very 
lucky to be there on a beautiful afternoon)

- The stairs up Strawberry Hill in the middle of Stow Lake
in Golden Gate park - another fun climb (much easier than
the first 2 )

- Lyon Street Staircase ( sorry that beautiful heart is hiding
the stairs :-). On top of the stairs is The Billionaire Row
where you can check out The Getty's, Larry Ellison's, and
other SF rich and famous mansions. 

I didn't know until then that there are over 40 hills in SF and
many many more staircases to explore... (note to Em Ci
and 3rd musketeerette, we should plan another visit !! )

Cheerios,
BT

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] my additional entries for Backlighting















Dear twin BiTi, fellow PNEHs, painters, poets, Mai Quang and Forum friends,

I really enjoyed looking at the superb and varied entries from OCF, my twin, Caro, Tri' , KPN  for the theme
BACKLIGHTING.
Tua^n' and Hie^n\ Lan, we miss your entries :-). If you want to, you can still send in entries, since we will wrap up the theme this Tuesday night.
We are hoping that Thu Huong will find a painting or two (or three :-)) in her treasure chest for the theme.
And may be my little sis will take a break from her favorite activities to write a poem for backlighting.
Here are my additional entries for the theme, the first two were taken at Chatuchak Market, one of the biggest outdoor weekend market where one can find anything and everything from pets, to furniture, paintings, buddha statues, clothing, jewelry, etc....
The third one was taken at the temple near the Royal Grand Palace. I wish I could capture the sight and sound of these bells floating in the wind. 
The trees in the fourth one was also taken at the Royal Grand Palace.
The last two were taken in Cha-Am Beach near Bangkok. I had to make the biggest effort to resist the temptation to stay in bed in order to catch the sunrise for these photos :-).

Back to be^n Bo*\ So^ng from the Land of Angels
