UNEXPECTED SIGHTS IN SAN FRANCISCO
​​by Robert Weiner

​I photograph things I find strange and/or delightful while walking around San Francisco. These photos were all taken with a Samsung S10 phone camera, without filters, editing, or tripod. Four were seen in the Mission and one was in Noe Valley.

I couldn't resist stopping by the "yarn bombing" that happened in my neighborhood (Precita Park) in January, 2014.  It was unexpected and delightful.
