    Your first shot is wonderful — I love the angles and the way you framed it! Whimsical seems like a good way to describe his art.

    Omigod! This is wonderful. I’m so amazed that someone could come up with such a creative idea and then actually put three bridges together in this fashion.

    Is SF particularly art conscious, more so than most every other city in the U.S. or am I simply uninformed?

    Don’t ask me why, but I look at those arches and think of Escher. Maybe I’m not supposed to, but I can’t help myself.
