(My Canon 1D Mark Whatever SLR died an early death at 140,000 clicks* possibly due to the fact that I wasn’t ascared of a little (or a lot) of rain. Nowadays I’m def. skittish, but no matter,) you can always count on famous photographer David Yu
As he was last Saturday night in Chinatown and North Beach and SoMA and the Financh and all over.
Check out his gallery of Year of the Rabbit festivities, why not ?
Bunnies!
David Yu
Whoahhh Bundy!

SuperLotto? No thanks! But SuperLotto PLUS? Sounds intriguing…

And look who else was there – it’s your newly-minted Supervisor Malia Cohen :
(Yowser)
And your just-as-newly-minted Mayor Edwin Lee in the official San Francisco staff car, formerly used by General Burkhalter:
See you next year! (In scary, scary 2012 , the year of the Dragon.)
*200,000 was the expected number of clicks I believe I was owed. ($300 minimum for a new shutter.) OTOH, my 5D Mark I has probably already exceeded its expected shutter life so I s’pose I shouldn’t complain too much. Living on borrowed time tho.

Of course famous photographer David Yu was on the scene when June Quan was crowned Miss Chinatown USA for 2011.
The Coronation Ball is tonight, see below, and, of course, the big parade is tomorrow night .
(Don’t even take along a brolly to the parade – you’ll stay dry this year, most likely, Gaia willing…) [UPDATE: The Internet MIC just came by my house and tore up my prognosticator license. From now on, I'll leave this kind of stuff to the experts.]
From David Yu

Look what’s falling on San Francisco this AM.
It’s hail! Newsworthy hail. (Run for the hills, Ma Barker.)
Or snow, some people call this kind of thing snow.
But not area Kiwi jodiolson . She knows the score:
“Simultaneous sun and hail in SF. In New Zealand, they call these sun showers.”

And here’s how it looked in the SoMA, per Bluoz
(Thank Gaia I don’t live in Chicago or someplace….)

Can you imagine the reaction the JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU Guy had when he was out shopping and then came across a rain jacket that’s just perfect for him?
And it fits perfectly too – what are the odds?

Did a Rec and Park cart get stuck in the middle of the Panhandle again? Sure looks that way from this photo, ’cause as we learned from My Cousin Vinny , tire tracks don’t lie.
Instead of working on aesthetics all the time, why doesn’t the PRD work on tasks they’re supposed to work on, like drainage ‘n stuff?
Just asking, bro.

As stated, as seen on Market Street, inbound:
The small dots are noise (due to an unnecessarily high ISO equivalence on an older camera) and the large dots are raindrops (due to an unnecessarily high shutter speed), so don’t click to expand.
Stay dry, Sugar Daddy Ken !
Stay dry, Brad !

There’s genuine lightning over San Francisco tonight.
Check out Trevor Pressman’s brand new 11-second video for proof.
First it was all like this:
Then it was all like this:
And leave us not forget the hail:

And here’s another view, from Bluoz . Striking Bernal Hill:
And here’s KTVU’s effort, a nice shot of simultaneous strikes on our Bay Bridge, showing the Bravo and Delta Towers getting hit:

Stay safe!

Now, when I say “Star-Crossed San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge,” I’m referring to stuff in this 60 Minutes report * from earlier this year
Anyway, enjoy.
*Heh, 60 Minutes finally got around to fixing one of their two errors . Good for them.

There still should be free ice cream at 2:15 PM or whenever the short set ends, though.

Actually, I’m surprised the NIMBYs didn’t try to kill this one:
Next stop, the Independent ….

This is what our skies looked like during the Second Game of the World Series against Texas last night (and that link has an orange and black pump shot for you foot fetishists / women’s shoe salesmen*).
Here’s the reaction about town:
Allan Hough from Mission Mission tells us that the “Environmental Protection Agency Shuts Down Ghost-Busting Operation “
Stuart from Caliber SF says “That Sky Last Night” “Looked Like Ghostbusters “
What do you say?
A lonely airliner at exactly 4000 feet heading towards SFO , just under all the commotion:

Another look:
Look to the Skies for S igns and W onders
*Those categories overlap more than you might imagine…
