I have this strange habit of wandering around aimlessly in various settings whenever I'm feeling terribly anxious or somewhat depressed. There's something slightly intoxicating about not knowing where I'm going in the immediate future, especially when I'm feeling uneasy about where I'm going to end up in the long run. For someone as uptight and order-obsessed as I am, being impulsive like this is a nice change. It felt surreal at first to come across this scene: it was eerily quiet except for the clamor on the street at the beginning of the pier and everyone seemed absorbed in their own worlds. I even felt weird about whipping out my camera to capture the moment so I waited until no one was paying attention.
I mean, you'd think a spectacular place like this right off Embarcadero would be more infested with tourists but I suppose no one really seems to wander past the Ferry Building unless it's to go the opposite way towards Pier 39. I'm not saying that this should be a tourist attraction but if you're in town and looking for a quiet photo-op, go to Pier 14. It's something you have to experience for yourself.

i like the pale blue of these photos, they are quite pretty. even though i don't usually go for sightseeing pictures. these are good.
i think i'm the opposite, i get really orderly when i'm feeling bad. in contrast to how sporadic and unorganised my life usually is!
I've lived in San Francisco for most of my life and haven't been to any pier other than 39! I have to check this out, it's gorgeous.
The sky always seems bluer everywhere else but here! Been raining cats and dogs here everyday. Would love to walk under the blue right now. :)

OMG lovely pictures! I love your blog!
Weird. I've been having a crazy bad time with my personal life lately and just discovered this pier on Saturday night. You must go at night before they close it (11pm, I think?) and wander around and have a beer. It is so relaxing and beautiful. . . definitely a place that I'm going to go back to when I'm feeling shitty and anxious.
i do exactly the same thing! walking/wandering clears my mind
i like how your photos didn't bring attention to the people out and about. at first i was like wow it's so empty but then had a closer look and realised there's actually someone sitting in the chair!
happy 21st birthday by the way!
