Click for San Francisco, California Forecast

San Francisco, USA

 

Affluence has a color - Green

Affluence has a color - green. And by that I don't mean greenback.

I was checking the Google map one day. It strikes me how Atherton, a uber rich city in California, stands out with a greenish tone. Most other urban area I looked appear grayish.

Further up north your will find another green patch - Hillsborough.

P.S. If you don't see much color, you might want a better monitor. On my Acer LCD monitor the color looks very rich. But on a Dell laptop the same picture becomes very dull.
