I know, I know... more clouds!  But the winter weather here in the Bay Area makes for such spectacular natural sights that I just can't help myself.

Can you tell I have a thing for clouds?

The relentless rain we've been getting pounded with lately has had at least one fabulous result: some utterly spectacular cloud formations floating over the city.

I took this yesterday from what is arguably the best view in all of San Francisco: from the top of Dolores Park, favorite sunning spot for the Castro gay boys, Mission hipsters and just about everyone in between. Gasps were heard 'round the city earlier this week when it was announced that the entire park would shut down for a year and a half for a major $12 million renovation.

They say it's because the irrigation system needs to be replaced and all the trails need to be redone. But I'm not buying it. I think they're afraid they might dig up some corpses left behind from the days the park was a cemetery.
