Black&White at Painted Lady

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Hi guys! Greeting with one of the most photographed locations in San Francisco, the dog park at Alamo Square. Huh, dog park??? Yes! 🙂 At first, I wondered why people (even they hate dogs) have to go there until I found the unique features of the colorful Victorian houses…
We came here to admire only one thing, “The Painted Ladies”! This is a must see place that is indeed a visual treat. The houses painted at least three different colors which embellish the architectural details. I wore black and white outfit just NOT to confuse people with all the colorful (painted) ladies at the park. 🙂 I’m personally not a fan of dogs but this is a dog friendly park that has world class bonus views. It’s great to picnic, hangout, chill, relax, and sit facing the houses with all the lovely people and dogs. More happy that on the day I went to the park, there’s about 2-3 guys playing classical instruments. I really love and enjoy it! The music, people, houses, and incredible San Fran weather will definitely bring me back there again… ❤

DO

DON’T

  • Take cab / any public transportation
  • Bring a mat for picnic
  • Wear flat
  • Wear plain color outfit to contrast with the “Painted Ladies”
  • Bring camera for the best landscape shot. Especially, when the sunset glow over the houses and the Alamo Square in the west
  • Be sure to schedule time to take a tour inside the house if you can
  • Bring friends, family, kids, or your love one…
  • Do not wear heels
  • Avoid driving – it’s hard to find parking
