Festive San Francisco Civic Center

Last Saturday, on my way to San Francisco Symphony to attend the Britten's War Requiem at San Francisco Symphony, I saw some lovely sights in San Francisco, which, just days after Thanksgiving, really dressed up for holiday season.

First, we saw a glorious sunset at Rockridge BART (subway) Station, with San Francisco in the backdrop:

Once exited from Civic Center Station, we walked by a brightly lit Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, facing San Francisco City Hall, which basked in striking red glow, though it resembled less the coat of Santa Claus, rather, frock of a devil.  Nevertheless, it was eye-catching.

Then, we saw the glow emitted from San Francisco Opera House and the Symphony Hall:

Before the performance, we went to the balcony of the Symphony Hall to take another glimpse of the startling City Hall:
