enchantment

I fell in love with San Francisco even before I had set foot on its soil. When I emerged from the darkness inside the plane into a clear starlit night in this other city by the bay, the cars zipping across the sky and buildings walking past us went into slow motion. I'm swimming beneath the surface of a dream and would only wake up from the spell when my right hand touches the Golden Gate Bridge.

At right is a still image of my dreamcraft: Mayor Gavin Newsom leading last Sunday's San Francisco LGBT Pride Parade along Market Street.
