Frog fountain, Redwood Park , San Francisco
This frog fountain in Redwood Park, part of the Transamerica Pyramid Center, pays homage to Mark Twain’s story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”.
May’s Fountain Photo Challenge theme is “animal or people in it“.
Saxophone artwork, San Francisco International airport.
Airports are one of my least favourite places on earth. Whoever believes “Getting there is half the fun” has not spent 14 hours crammed into economy class, followed by more hours wandering in a bleary daze around an airport while waiting for another bout of economy purgatory on a connecting flight. So it’s a pleasant surprise to encounter something that gives a humanising touch to otherwise soulless international mega-airports. The butterfly enclosure at Singapore’s Changi airport is one such delight, as is the artwork installed at San Francisco airport. I love the wit and whimsy of this saxophone wall installation.
Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week is roadscapes. Here are a few shots of roads from my travels.
Do you know the “A Word a Week Challenge”? It’s a great opportunity for photographers to share their shots on a common theme. This week’s word is: Roof. Here are my entries.
A roofline in the Forbidden City, Beijing, China.

Rooftops in Vejer, Spain.
Gargoyles on a roof in Toronto.
