absolutely, thanks for sharing with us!

Ooooh love the mood! Almost thought it was crissy beach out here in SF. Great image!

This cat is in the process of extracting my soul....also great capture!

The leading lines, texture, light & shadow, and the SCALE....it's all working, and vibing together. Love it ❤️🏆

A black and white photograph of a vintage San Francisco Police Department patrol car, unit number 067, driving slowly past a blurred crowd of parade spectators. An older officer wearing dark sunglasses and a mustache is at the wheel, his arm resting casually out the open window with his hand draped over the side mirror. The classic cruiser features a prominent star-shaped SFPD decal on the door and vintage, rounded emergency lights on the roof.

Gorgeous!

This is so awesome! 🔥 I love the perspective and time of day lighting!

Love this! The flowers look like they are dancing on a grass stage in front of the tall trees lol. 🏆

A close-up, black-and-white portrait of a young marching band musician with dreadlocks, wearing a dark uniform and a tall, plumed hat with a sunburst emblem. The musician's hand rests thoughtfully near their mouth in a moment of quiet introspection, while other band members playing a clarinet and saxophone are softly blurred in the background.

A long-exposure street photograph at night capturing the heavy motion blur of performers marching through the foreground. Behind metal barricades, a crowd of spectators is visible in sharper focus, illuminated by warm artificial light against the backdrop of a city building.

One of the many marching bands passing through the SF Lunar New Year Parade last night. We had a lil 'Drumline going on in the middle of the street! 🧧 #photosky #LunarNewYear #StreetPhotography #art

Sometimes I'll grab a quick video through the camera for my own memory. Straight from the card! Dragon Dancing in action at the SF Lunar New Year Parade 2026. #SanFrancisco #Parade #DragonDancing #LunarNewYear #video #photosky

Currently building this into my world model lol. This is the definition of the good life 😆

A large red Chinese dragon costume looms over parade performers in black uniforms during the San Francisco Lunar New Year parade. The dragon's head fills the upper frame vividly decorated with gold horns, jeweled fins, and an open mouth showing white teeth. A fringed red and orange ceremonial lantern is visible to the right. Storefronts including a tuxedo shop line the background as a crowd watches from the sidewalk.

At the Lunar New Year Festival I had a decent spot with a slice of a clean frame between the crowd and the people in front of me. Screenshot straight off the card as we take a look at what we got 🫣 -No doubt, dragons were the star of the show! #LunarNewYear #streetphotography #DragonDance #photosky

mesmerizing...🏆

Two performers in elaborate Chinese deity costumes march through a San Francisco street parade. One wears a vivid red demon mask, the other a dark blue horned mask both draped in straw like mane collars and intricately embroidered robes in red and dark green with gold dragon and phoenix motifs. They walk side by side through a crowd of onlookers.

About Last Night: San Francisco Lunar New Year Festival 🧧Vibes were incredible. First time. Everywhere I turned I saw people smiling and strangers talking with one another. Love is a drug ♡ -screenshot off the SD card. #SanFrancisco #LunarNewYear #photosky #chineseculture #streetphotography #unity

Wow, that sounds like an incredible commute!! Get the blood pumping with some of the best views this side of the Rockies...or any side really lol. Thanks for sharing and you should definitely take a trip out here soon, the city has been on a bit of an upswing!

Anyone see the runway? Anyone? 😶‍🌫️ 😆

A high-contrast, black-and-white street photograph featuring a cyclist moving across the frame in front of a massive, neoclassical building. The composition is dominated by four large, fluted Roman-style columns and tall, dark windows with intricate geometric metal grilles. The cyclist, wearing a dark jacket and backpack, is captured in profile against the light-colored stone base of the structure. Sharp sunlight creates dramatic vertical shadows and bright reflections across the pillars, emphasizing the scale of the architecture compared to the solitary human figure.

We like to bike in the Bay. Mostly for fun, however, some of us commute. Taken in San Francisco outside the 'Bank of California" 🏛️

Love this shot. The longer you look, the more you see ❤️

This is SO cool! Thank you for sharing! 🖤

A close-up architectural photograph of a building sign. The gold-colored text reads 'JAMES BONG BUILDING' positioned below the address number '833'. A warm, semi-circular light fixture glows from behind the numbers, set against a dark background. The entire sign is framed by decorative, pink-toned molding with a repeating pattern of horizontal lines and floral rosettes.

Image captured on yesterday's walk. The James "Bong" Building at 833 Market Street, SF. Appropriately SF. I missed the stoner James Bong spy thriller era 🍿🎞️🍄
