This Is San Francisco: The Outside Lands

Known in the 19th century as The Outside Lands - a name that in most hipsters' collective knowledge means a pretty rad summer music festival (it's that too) - the westernmost part of San Francisco reminds us that we city dwellers are still living on Planet Earth, a living breathing organism that supports life.

The Outside Lands is a place between City and Sea.

It is a place where the wild things are.

And it is a place where humans go to find inspiration...

or you can go there with your best friend (he'll love it).

But when you go, do yourself a favor:

Stop...

and smell the flowers.

These photos were all captured during Sunday Streets on April 15th.

Check out Change Your Life, Ride A Bike for another take and Wheelright for yet another.

This has been San Francisco.

I took all these with my Canon G10, which takes awesome pics on its own, but I was inspired by your black & white effect on the Penny Farthing pic, so I used one of the new "Aviary" Flickr effects. I think it's called Singe.

oh nice, i need to play with the new effects. i was sad when picnik went over to google, but looks like aviary will be good too.
