While driving through some side neighborhoods I saw this fence which was
absolutely overflowing with bougainvillea
Church of the Immaculate Conception, Old Town San Diego, 1858
Birria tacos!
In Presidio Park there's a small building that Google Maps has labeled "Witches Tower"
When I went up to look there was a young man sitting in one corner, writing in a journal, with a medium sized knife casually on the ground next to him. He suggested that visitors were traditionally supposed to walk the star pattern on the tower. I asked if it had anything to do with witches and he gave a quizzical look. He said that if watchmen followed the path, they'd be more difficult targets for attack due to the unpredictable appearance. Makes sense.
The area of interest for stargazing. What was amazing to me was that even well after midnight the air temperature was still 90 degrees. Between the residual heat from daytime and near total silence other than some insects and distant thunder, it was a surreal environment.
Intermittent cloud cover made it difficult to capture more than a handful of clear images.
I did my best with post-processing.
