Christmas at Black Rock

San Francisco

A little glimpse at the dark side of my Christmas persona. Why an investment company would name itself 'Black Rock' is weird to begin with. And this before the economic collapse. I was walking in front of their San Francisco office on Sunday and noticed these little LED lights in this tree. I looked up and told myself this qualifies for a Silly Tuesday posting.

Tomorrow - a 'good' architectural image taken at the same hour. Heck - it is an attractive building.

Super view, it looks so incongruous a tree growing between monolithic structures.

Fun tree that appears to compete with the building height

Your story may be darkm (and I too have chuckled at their name) but this image is nothing to laugh about - I think it is totally cool...great view...I like that area of town with the trees and so close to the water...very nice!

I'd rather be fat in the black than anywhere in the red.
