More Nostalgia for Last Summer






I had found myself in puzzling circumstances
the Bay furnished my great escape






 Summer of 2013 is revisited yet again by the ever-vigilant sage with an epic memory, your Flaneur. It is said that, whatever else bohemia is, it is always yesterday. The same goes for summertime.





 

 Oakland city of night
with a Necklace of Light






 A city not without its charm




 The night of the day the Supreme Court struck down
 California's discriminatory Proposition 8
a last ray of sunlight on a rainbow flag





 This fellow certainly looked like 
he felt liberated



 Red sails in the sunset,
what would I do without a song?




Feet are big in Oakland








 We take our herbal medicine seriously hereabouts,
federal lawman, watch out






 My ready supplier of chilled bottles of stout
conveniently located near the Ferry landing





 Even Today many have a distorted view of Oakland






  Snowy egrets dig the estuary 
a stone's throw from the highrise skyline




 Christ the Light awaits eternity nearby




Solitude can be very peaceful





And you can always hit a movie






But by all ways and means,
 stay groovy







Summer 2013
