Twilight at the circular offices. There are four of these round buildings arranged in an arc around a central, taller building that's out of view. The rock gardens and drought-tolerant planters used to be lawn and fountains until they redid the landscaping a couple of years ago.

Figured I’d use the 1977 filter on this, given the architecture.
Interesting! The filter is apparently applied on top of the attached image, because Mastodon shows the unfiltered image.
On Friday afternoons I like to take a walk around the area when on break from work. This week I went looking for grids. I noticed very quickly that grids are everywhere in a modern city.
Window grids on glass-faced buildings. Paving and floor tiles. Wall tiles in the bathroom. Ceiling tiles in the office or retail stores. Storm drain grates. The patterns of bumps on the non-slip section of a wheelchair ramp. If you zoom out, there’s the pattern of streets, all the electrical and data cables making their way around town…
…and of course the metaphorical grid that all of us are plugged into, that some of us long to get off of.
Puffy clouds and reflections. The holes in the side of the building are for a major remodel. They just took down a plywood and scaffolding garbage chute that ran down the outside of the building.

A nearly full semicircle, redder than usual, taken just minutes before sunset. I had to stitch two photos together to get the whole thing, which messed with the aspect ratio a bit.
Nighttime on the sun deck of the Best Western Americania. Yes, San Francisco hotels have sun decks.
An office building and a tree.
Los Angeles Convention Center.

It’s the Anaheim Convention Center again, taken during Anaheim Comic-Con 2010.
San Diego, looking down Pacific Highway toward Harbor from the Holiday Inn on the Bay. The tall blocky building at the end, with the peaked roofs, is the Manchester Grand Hyatt. The shorter one is the Embassy Suites. I believe the taller buildings are all high-rise condos.
This was taken last year during Comic-Con International. It seems appropriate that I’ve worked up to this point in my photoblogging project, since hotel rooms for this year’s con go on sale Thursday at 9:00.
Update: I’ve posted some tips on how to get a hotel for Comic-Con.
