san francisco: grab a group of good pals and head north over the golden gate bridge to the top of mount tam. follow the narrow, curvy roads up and up through the hills and trees. pick one of the many scenic places to stop and hike on up just before sunset. may i suggest a nice bottle of wine to sip as the sun sets. be sure to drink in moderation unless you actually want the hike down to get ugly.
whenever you wander about, take a moment to find reflections in unexpected places and unconventional surfaces. consider how objects and faces transform and take color depending on the type of surface you're looking at. i'd refrain from becoming too curious around water, especially if you're really interested in staying dry.
if you're lucky enough to have access to your roof, take a moment to go up there at midnight and observe the environment around you. for an extra special treat, wait to do this during a full moon and bring some music with you. two things to note: if you fall, not my fault and if someone thinks you're a robber, jump.
san francisco: when you're all alone, head to the building at one market late at night. pass the security guard(s), move beyond the elevators and find the open space in the middle. look up from the center point and take in all the golden lines and shapes. take note of the hum coming from the prism structure. feel the empty space and the height of your surroundings. run if you get in trouble.
