But you know, on an overcast or foggy day it isn't quite as jarring. In fact, I like the way the colors of all the homes are muted on a foggy day, yet stand out without competition from the sun.

Architecture in the Sunset and Parkside districts of San Francisco

About this Blog
I live in the Sunset, grew up in the Sunset, and have lived all but three years of my life in the Sunset and Parkside.
I love the homes out here, inside and out. The way the pastel colors look in the fog, how every home in a seemingly identical row has its own little quirks.
I walk around the neighborhood a lot and found I was asking myself things like "is that the only house with that medallion?" or "I wonder when that addition was built?" or "What were they thinking?". So I started taking photos to keep a record of the little details now in abundance that one day may be gone.
