The skyline of a city can seem so much the same. Jagged concrete structures reaching for the sky with varying degrees of ambition.

Yet, they are distinct. A level of careful observation will show you a few things. The choreographed exteriors, the conversations that hug the air and the music that is played in the street give the skyline life.

The skyline of San Fransisco seems to tease you a bit with its streaming business like stiff upper lip. Beautiful nevertheless, especially when you relish it with some cool breeze from the Pacific. It is when you step into the city and go down the valley you realise how much a facade the skyline put up.

The couple appeared with a sudden burst of laughter and gaiety. It was a bright, beautiful San Francisco morning. They were headed in the direction of he ferry building.

The couple went past me on two legs : His. Filling the road with their laughter and love.

He carried her for a long distance. After a while, she alighted from his arms and walked. Hand in hand they ambled along.

People nodded. Smiled. Shook their heads . Some in disbelief and others in sarcasm. Yet others in some sort of joy.

The moment, the action and reactions seemed to be so uniquely ‘San Francisco’. What do you think?

A city’s character is built by what is sold and what is bought. It is in its streets and in its markets that the city’s soul rests.

The many faces of San Francisco define it’s inclusiveness, its pluralism and it’s embrace of change.

There are bridges. And then there are bridges like the Bay Bridge.

Standing tall, majestic with two layers of traffic. On since the 1930s. Completed before the much vaulted Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco.

Its stature coming from its understated value. The Bay Bridge is a bridge to be absorbed by the eye for all it offers beyond what it offers to the eye.

Mountains. The mountains have a way of helping you understand ‘expanse’ .

When the clouds kiss the peaks and the ground beneath seems to quiver with just a bit of excitement, you want to take your eyes away. And look into the horizon.

Where another set of clouds are engaged in the same romance. With another set of waves of mountains. You smile. You learn expanse!

The searing rush to get to the top! Only complemented by the dark glass facade.

When you stand in the street below and strain your neck to get a shot, u you have to admit that it looks beautiful. In a very different sort of way.

The interplay between light and shadow always has that effect!

A runner stands apart from a pack. A runners body is distinctive. You don’t have to look too hard.

The muscles show. The arc in the legs stand out and of course, when the open space beckons just watching a runner run, is such joy!

And against a setting Sun, it’s a complete sight to behold.

Cities are defined by the character of the infrastructure and the twinkle in the eyes of its citizens.

Washington DC stands tall. With lots going for it. Including a very effective metro service. (at Dupont Circle station)

The stories we tell ourselves, both of ourselves and others get busted when we stand in another land and under another flag!

The skies of the world are all blue! 🙂

It’s often not about how heavy the weight is as how we carry the weight.

Finding another shoulder and just another plank to distribute the weight works wonders.

So, this week, who are you lending a shoulder to? It could make a telling difference. Who knows whats weighing someone down.
