If you're going to San...

San Francisco's flamboyant and sun-drenched streets teem with colourful characters in these stunning flower power pictures.

Wandering buskers, hipsters with gravity-defying hair and gatherings of bongo players are all captured in the dream-like 1971 Nick DeWolf snaps of the west coast 'beacon of counterculture'.

Outrageous one-piece jumpsuits and lacquered backcombs blend with suited and booted workers in riding cable cars up the city's steep hills in the romantically retro images.

SF Nude In

(why are there never any attractive young women at these events?)

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Anyone who writes about San Francisco's "Sun drenched streets" has obviously never spent much time there.

Still a lot of counter-culture drugs there; just not as quaint anymore.

You want "quaint"?

That was before the 1906 quake.

The OP pics must have been from the winter. It's sunny and the tourists are not all shivering and miserable-looking.
