More 4th of July Photos @ The Fisherman's Wharf





Photos Above: the
silhouette of people at the wharf makes me think of Paris, France's *Arc de Triomph*;

Fireworks in progress as seen along Powel Street near IHOP (International House of Pancake)



In photos left and right:

People in different shapes and sizes were busy chatting and walking while waiting for the fireworks to happen. The sky was bright and clear here @ 8.30 PM in Pier 39! This is the place where tourists flock daily for some "bay breeze" ambience or simply to go shopping or to eat in different restaurants in the area. The wharf is famous for its "Alcatraz Cruise" where tourists cruise around the Island of Alcatraz, where stories about convicted criminals trying to escape the tiny island run in a never-ending fashion. In the photo here as well are the rows of green portable potty as seen on the *right* were available nearby (for free- in other countries you pay a price to use one)! Mother nature calls in the most unexpected time and place~ so it was nice to have lots to choose from (laughs)! Haha!
