Loco in SF

Like a big bald head, originally uploaded by davegolden. A Big Purple Head that is. The Dreamer is a temporary art installation in Golden Gate Park by Pepe Ozan, presented by the Black Rock Ats Fondation. It is scheduled to be there until the end of November. Hopefully it will make it that long, since it seems to have already lost its ears (in a battle with the Bay to Breaker runners I hear) and has taken a bit of a beating.

The power of Taiko fills the Peace plaza in Japantown during the 34th annual Nihonmachi street festival. With only one stage in the plaza and some booths on Post avenue the festival appeared to be quite a bit smaller this year than it has in previous years
