Weekend Photo Diary: Deeper Concentration

Time Is On My Side
Photo by Troy Holden

Dude, Plug 1 just won’t let up, will he? He’s all over, everywhere, all the time, taking amazing photos, dropping them into various group pools on Flickr, and even doing us the favor of sending us Muni-related news tips. We swear, he must be two or three people, or be able to bend the time/space continuum curve to be able to do as much as he does.

This photo is so cool, so real, we almost feel like we’re on the train with this guy, not our day-job desks putting together a Weekend Photo Diary.

Alas …

Weather this weekend should continue to feel not-quite-like-July-in-San-Francisco, meaning warm weather and mostly clear skies. Weather Underground sees highs in the upper-60s, while our mobile app tells us low-70s. You can interpret both to mean: GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND HAVE SOME OUTSIDE FUN, PEOPLE!

Cheerio!

Weekend Photo Diary: Purple BART Man

Something about the purpleness of this guy screams out “this weekend.” Maybe it’s also the fact that no one else seems to be on the platform with dude.

It’s gonna be one of those weekends where San Francisco weather doesn’t really totally suck (morning fog, 60-ish afternoon highs), but where, beginning Monday, the weather suddenly is all “Oh, haha, now I’m awesome. Now that the weekend is over and you suckers are back in the cube.”

Stay warm, have fun, and send us your Muni stories!

Photo Diary: My N Line, My Life

Muni rider Lisa sent in this photo of the N on a beautiful, sunny San Francisco day.

Thanks, Lisa! In honor of today’s fabulous weather, here’s my weather forecast for today, SFist style:

Today’s weather is well-versed in useful domestic arts. She enjoys decorating herself as well as her home, and is ever ready to set an elaborate table laden with fine china should her husband bring home a last minute guest or two. Her mostly sunny disposition belies the challenges of managing her domestic sphere.  Nevertheless, she keeps the chances of cloud at bay.

Photo Diary: Separated at birth? Muni Metro

franciscophile‘s caption for this photo reads:

Twins? Trick photography? These are two Light Rail Vehicles (LRV) opposite each other. The one on the left and in the foreground is about to submerge into the city’s bowels and the other one, in the background, is resting until it is time to go.

Got rad Muni photos? Be sure to add them to the Muni Photos Flickr group or send them directly to us.

Weekend Photo Diary: Muni Metro Goes A-Whizzin’ By

Found this photo in our Flickr account the other day. It touches off all sorts of geek nerves in me — from the suggestion of speed and motion to the wide-angle aspect and blurring of imagery. Great photo by Rick.

Well, nothing much going on this weekend. Ah, we kid. Hell, the weekend seemed to start early for most of you (not us!), so you’re probably reading this Sunday or Monday. Hope you enjoyed it.

If you’re still looking for things to do Saturday, the day the country we live in was born, look no further — SF Appeal has a great round-up.

Weather in the city should be mild by July standards. Go forth … on the fourth. [the sound of fellow Muni Diaries editors beating Jeff]

Horse phooey!

The following words and image came to our gmail from vivian:

The city of SF and muni continues to amaze me. Besides having to endure the always “colorful” 47/49 on my commute to & from work, I now have the pleasure of walking past huge piles of crap next to the stop @ North Point. For TWO days now this lovely pile has been sitting here hanging out greeting tourists as the make their way over to Ghiradelli [sic] Square. Are there wild horses roaming around that I don’t know about?

It’s amazing that tourists still visit our city given how we don’t really give a crap about keeping it nice and clean for them. I guess we natives can just pass along stories to you muni diaries to share in the pain and misery. 🙂
