Pink tree with hearts in a fashion store

A huge ornament watches a cable car pass

A hook to hang the huge ornament

A bow backed by a rippled reflection of a building

Closed Starbucks with a meager paper tree

A homeless man wanders past poinsettias

Wreath in an office lobby

Wreath in a store window

A blue ornament hung from a tree in a store window near Union Square. It was decorated with a fake star to lend it a fake religous glow. The chrome ball next to it reflected the street outside the window.

Buildings reflected off an Xmas wrap

Snowman banner hangs on California Street

Sad rose on a wall

Wrapped columns on the Merchants Exchange building

Modest decor in a closed bar

Woman rests after a hard day's shopping

The home of a hard day's shopping

Folks shopping hard

Every Chirstmas, the folks who manage the 101 California building set these huge (over six feet or two meters tall) ornaments in the plaza. They were all built using fiberglass and this one in the foreground wouldn't roll because it had a flat base.

Band plays on the street for Xmas money

Jews chat, perhaps about the season

A red ball ornament hung from a Christmas tree it the middle of Union Squar in downtown San Francisco. Reflected in it was the fence surrounding the tree. Lights were lit that day, despite the sun shining brightly.

Eighth wonder of Xmas
