Weekend Photos: Into and Out of the Fog

the devil's in the details

This Saturday is the San Francisco Santarchy, when hundreds of Santas will descend on San Francisco. So take some pictures and show them to those pesky people who told you Santa Claus doesn’t exist! And if you catch St. Nick on Muni, you know we’re dying to see it.

The main starting point is at the Civic Center station at 12:30 p.m., so get your red velvet outfits ready.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Speak Softly, Carry a Horn on Muni

Muni rider Sarah took this one. I love how quiet it is; I always (easily) forget how peaceful it can be on the bus.

…unless the guy at the very front honks the horn affixed to his cane. Per Sarah:

Hard to tell from afar, but there’s a squeaky horn on the end of that old man’s cane. I wonder if he uses it like a car horn, when people are walking too slowly in front of him, or to tell his wife to hurry up because he’s waiting outside.

It would certainly come in handy on Muni, let’s not kid ourselves here. Bravo, cane-horn guy. Few people can pull this off, but I think he does it well.

Muni’s Got Your Ticket to the Gun Show

Octoferret dropped this one in our Muni Photos Flickr pool. Someone tell the NRA, because this Muni’s next stop is the goddamn rifle range.

Octoferret says:

On the 76 line in the Marin Headlands.

My second favorite is ‘General Manager’ on the northbound 19-Polk.

“General Manager” is a great WTF-inducer. I have two others tied for first, though: the running ticker of gibberish and Sassy Muni Bus. Please Ho, indeed.

To answer your burning question, though, there is apparently a place called Rifle Range in the Marin Headlands. The National Park Service says you can find those purty Mission Blue butterflies there. Nowadays, it appears to function more as a venue/public space than a shooting range. Please give us a break for giggling, though, as we don’t see “rifle range” on many things around here.

Go ahead, make my day: drop some photo goodies in our award-winning (finalist-making) Muni Photos Flickr pool.

Santa gets started on Muni

Yes, he was spotted on BART in October. But that was merely a decoy used to get us talking. Sneaky devil.

Now it’s December, and Saint Nick is for reals. And he’s so chill about it, he’s taking Muni to creep into your non-existent fireplace and deliver presents. Or not? Spotted by no less than two (count ’em, 2!!!!) Muni riders.

If you see the jolly red dude, gawk for sure. But then share you stories and photos!
