Return to San Francisco

Posted on March 14, 2016 by Mark

Here’s a travelogue of a crazy vacation in the City by the Bay. My favourite place on Earth, I’m never happier than when I’m tearing about trying to see everything at once. Such a handsome place, bursting with character and charm, inspirational and romantic. And if you’ve never seen a zebra crossing turn into a coy carp then you’ve never been to The Haight…

Postcards From Barbary Lane – The House

Posted on April 18, 2013 by Mark

The first view of Number 28 Barbary Lane is a magical thing. Mary Anne Singleton is almost like Alice going down the rabbit hole, as she enters the leafy courtyard and the mystery of her future vanishes. Maupin’s words build intrigue, weaving a fable of San Francisco, compulsive for adventurers and dreamers alike.

See more Postcards From Barbary Lane here, and more posts about Tales of the City on this page.

Sausalito Sunshine

Posted on July 4, 2012 by Mark

Me on Baker Beach

The sun burning off the fog on a Sausalito hillside

Fog poem on the beach near the Golden Gate Bridge

Dusty backroad, Sausalito

These are warm hazy memories of my trip to San Francisco, where the fog hid from us during an October heatwave in 2007. The dusty sunshine in Sausalito was idyllic, as we had breakfast with bears in an old wooden cafe and explored the Marina. I really appreciate these pictures as Manchester is lashed by rain for the third month running… and I wonder, where is the sun?
