Description
San Francisco, one of the most famous corners in the city. I was a young hippie chick when I first saw this place. It still has some of the free, open feel from back then. But then the sun goes down and it takes on a very different aura, one that's not so nice. Most of the people on the street don't have that peace and love. But I still love the head shops, the bead shops, most of the energy~~so what can I say but "far out, this is right on!!!"
Artist: Scott McKenzie
Song: San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion
For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

The days of our youth was all excitement. Still is... Aloha
Ah, its like Wow man, I can dig it. Very heavy and grooooovy!!!!! Hey, is that Tim Leary over there? Come here man I got a ride I need to take!!!
We were groovy! LOL I was a flower child rather than a hippie. I had the flowers in my hair and alternated between faux leather mini skirts and peasant blouse, and ankle long granny dresses. Never got to SF until I had been forced to mature in order to take care of my second child but the spirit lives on. :-) Great shot, Marilyn.
I loved those days and I love that song ;) Beautiful flower!
These are reminiscent of days long gone now when "bad" was still "good" and people could still feel safe. Lovely thoughts.
wonderful
Most of the denizens of Haight-Ashbury are the originals, I'm afraid...and time and drugs haven't treated them too well; the smell of urine in the doorways is more apparent than the scent of flowers. But I also remember those days with longing, it seemed so innocent and exciting back then...thanks for the reminder, Marilyn, and nice work!
Seeing the capture of the street sign is like seeing a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge. One knows exactly the place, the era and for many, the memories.
i remember those days well
a song I love and SF too wonderful work warm hug, Linda
Really gorgeous Marilyn!
From the lyrics, I assume you don't Hate Ashbury. Good to see you added some postwork spice to these photos of the infamous street corner and the ever lovely hibiscus. It looks like either a noise, median or grain filter used with the hibuscus. As for the inhabitants, the local government politicians are loons for sure. Among other idiotic things, they have turned San Francisco into a sanctuary city for every kind of ne'er-do-well.
super
