I have been attempting to show some of the interesting light shows in the Illuminate SF project for my A to Z this year. There are some that are inside San Francisco International Airport but you have to be flying somewhere to get past security to see them. I miss the old days when you could just meet someone at their gate or even just wander through the airport to see the different art displays they have. Oh well.
One of the installations is very visible and it’s right around the corner from where I live so it was not too hard to get the shots I needed. This is called Coding and it was designed by Johanna Grawunder in 2019. During the day it looks like this. The yellow tags point to North, East, West and South. The square and rectangle windows apparently spell out San Francisco in Morse code.

At night it looks like this. The undercarriages of the elevator shafts change color ever so slightly. It takes 24 hours to change so I only have this example. You can see some subtle differences.




This is at the long term parking facility and it definitely wasn’t busy when I was there. We had to go through the gate so I could get close enough to take the pictures but we weren’t there long enough to get charged thank goodness.
Best Viewing – SFO Long-Term Parking Garage, anytime after dusk.
And that’s that. See you tomorrow!
Side note: I don’t know about others but this year I am getting a lot of spam comments. Fortunately they are being caught by my spam finder but it is frustrating to think that there’s a creep on the A to Z!

Love the parking garage! I know how expensive Downtown parking is – this one is probably extra pricey?

This is long term parking at the airport and I just checked, it is max $21 for 24 hours. That doesn’t seem too bad to me considering parking at a concert is $25 to $30 for 3 or 4 hours.

That’s a very fancy long term parking facility! Much more picturesque than those here in NYC. And I agree with you on the airports — so much nicer when friends and family could see you off at the gate.

I am not sure how many people actually use long-term parking. During the pandemic the lots were used to give Covid shots.

Not as exciting as some of the others I’ve seen but pretty cool nonetheless.

I’ve only had one spammer on my two blogs but on my IG account for wool, TONS! That’s why my personal IG account is private. Sigh…

I just went into my new Instagram account for wearing wool, moved it to private and deleted 42 scam type followers. Not sure why they followed that account, I don’t seem to have that much trouble in my author IG account.

I couldn’t make much of it in the daylight, but it sure is pretty when lit up! 🙂
