Freeway Zen: The 280/101 Interchange
As seen near the 280/101 interchange on the south side of Bernal Heights.
Intersection: Jarboe & Bronte
This intersection is fantastic at all times of the day. But especially after dark.

The owner of this house once told me, “I used to play football with OJ Simpson in high school. I taught Carlos Santana how to play guitar. I am running for mayor in 2012.”
He dresses his home up each year for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

As seen on the south slope early one morning around 8:30am.
On overcast mornings such as this, the dramatic blue and subtle orange-yellow color palette practically make this house pop off the block.
I’ve yet to meet the new owners. (It sold recently.) The stacked architecture leads me to believe this was at one time a garage, barn, or storage structure. If you know more, do tell in the comments.
Hooray, We Still Have a Video Store and Bookseller on Cortland
One of the perks of last week’s Holiday Stroll on Cortland Avenue was meeting the business owners who’ve kept shop here over the years.

My wife and I recently rescued a 9 month old puppy named Jpeg. As such, I now find myself walking through the slopes of Bernal Heights several times each day.
There are a lot of interesting looking homes in the south slope of this neighborhood. I hope to photograph as many as I can in the coming weeks, months, and years. The only rule is: no cars parked in front.
