View from the kitchen here at Spencer Alley, facing west. The evening fog has made it (after struggling) over Twin Peaks and is creeping down into Eureka Valley. From there it will engulf the Mission too, before long. And its cool winds precede it. The lumber on the left is the back stairs of a neighboring building. Large yellow peak at center is the backside of the newly built Holy Family Day Home. But the little peaked roof at the top of the picture belongs to another building altogether, a building on the far side of Dolores Blvd, the beautifully restored synagogue that houses Congregation Sha'ar Zahav. The ocean is out of sight here, but feels close because of this freshness of fog she sends across San Francisco every night, almost.
