south of market walk…

making my way from the Bayview to Pearl St. I strolled from 4th and Berry (Caltran Depot) and up to Market and Octavia. I was struck by this image….I just love how the clouds billow amidst the construction of the freeway – a perfect “perspective” moment in more ways than one – ominous perhaps. As I was walking areas that were so desolate around ’98 – when I used to take my weekend bikerides from Pearl St. through Brannan through the Embarcadero and on up to the Headlands – I was intrigued by the rapid development in tandem with the rapid decline….I wonder if it’s an urban thing.
