Sunset over Hyde Street Pier San Francisco

People don’t often associate San Francisco with beaches, but there are some around. One of the reasons I like to stay in Fisherman’s Wharf is the fact that I can go down to the beach at sunset and see the colours over the bay. The historic ships at Hyde Street Pier add to the atmosphere. 

Time x Square

Time for another square month hosted by the lovely Becky. The photos don’t necessarily have to be of a timepiece, but are open to interpretation to reflect time in some way, or sayings such as ‘the passing of time’, ‘a stitch in time’, or time running away from you.

Day 5 and a clock tower on the Coach House in Ludlow on Mill Street. This also featured in the Roofs challenge.

I loved this little building with its interesting windows and when it came up for sale I was quite interested in buying it, until I realised that a) it wasn’t big enough and b) it is very dark inside. Definitely got kerb appeal though!

Day Four and time for some history. Many of you know that I lived in lovely historical Ludlow (Shropshire) for five years before moving to Cornwall.  Ludlow is a famous medieval town with many listed buildings as well as holding an excellent market several times a week.

This exquisite timber-framed house is from the 17th century.

Day Three and a variation on the theme. Family time. Appropriate for this time of year although I personally loathe travelling in December. The days are too short, the weather can be abysmal, the sun is low and often in your eyes when driving. Public transport is packed and even more of a shambles than normal.

So I shall stick with this lovely family of swans, daddy (the Cob in the foreground) making sure that nothing comes close to his little family.
