I finally realized I must be trying to photo every cool old and new big building in the San Francisco Bay Area.




on shattered glass

like dice tossed
on a smooth endless table
we only wait to see how they roll


the morning broke
like melting ice cream
on shattered glass

the face of the wristwatch
split into shards
the beads scattered
as fast as a race horse
breaks out of the gate

the summer lit
like a burnt match
smoldering in the ashtray
as the sun bursts into a billion pieces

simply said, one thing
affects the next and so forth

he walked across the parking lot
staring at his brand new Iphone
watching an old episode of Gunsmoke,
by the time he woke
ten people were looking
down at him as he laid flat on the ground

On the wasted edge
of what was and what could could have been
the arc angel stood along yet another riverbank
watching the horizon burn

it looks like a building full of offices, not like a cathedral :) but still it's amazing.

Well now it has been converted in living spaces. But when you mentioned that about the name i had to look up (below) and see why it is called the Cathedral Building.
I just thought it's height and look.
Nice to know living near it.
Thanks.


The Oakland Federal Building, built in 1914, is located at the intersection of two of Oakland's main thoroughfares: Broadway and Telegraph. The nearby downtown architecture, including City Hall, Old Oakland, The Rotunda, the former I. Magnin store, the Paramount Theatre and the Fox Theatre, evokes the glory days of Oakland's storied past.

The Federal Realty Building was designed by architect Benjamin Geer McDougall. It was renamed the Cathedral Building in 1969 because of its churchlike spires and design.

well the only difference is that it wasn't cathedral but federal building. yeah, we aren't noticing what is around us. for example, this [link] is a tomb in my town. you can see how it looked in 1928 and how it looks now. every morning i see there young high school students smoking weed. they even don't know on what they're standing :)

that's a shame
the taggers will do their work on anything.
that would not happen with a nice old building like that here.
well unless it was in the slums or East Oakland.
but with the economy the way it is, it hard to stop.
a little respect would be in order
but kids will be kids
we all do stuff
