Scenes from Lower Haight

Christopher and I went out for a walk yesterday afternoon from the Castro to Hayes Valley. We walked through Lower Haight along the way, and saw some very interesting sights.

There was a huge 4-alarm fire on Tuesday afternoon. I could see the flames of the fire from our house, which was a couple of miles away. We walked past the remains of the building yesterday, which was quite striking.





We also passed by the this old tree trunk on the sidewalk. It was just the trunk - the rest of the tree had been chopped off much earlier it seemed. Anyhow, there were some really neat carvings of animals done within the trunk of the old tree.
