And upskirt shot of a giant dome / skylight atop an upper floor atrium in a shopping mall in downtown San Francisco. The fancy, kaleidoscopic panes of glass blur in the background. What's in focus: a skirt of dangling orange and yellow fairy lights hanging down from a giant wreath underneath the dome, like a grass hula skirt with sparkly lights.

   So a quick update on something I wrote about last month...

   It appears the failed and recently shuttered Westfield Mall / San Francisco Centre has been rescued. A pair of local developers won the bid and purchased the massive, defunct mall for 10 cents on the dollar. Rumor has it they plan to redevelop the mall into a mix of housing, office, and some retail.

   Fingers crossed they save the old Emporium dome atop the eastern side of the mall. Speaking of which, from my Lightroom archives, here's a picture I took in December 2009 of that grand old dome. Look at her, all gussied up for Christmas 😘
