heaven knows what the time difference is where you are but apologies if my phone call yesterday woked you up. dg writes: don't worry it was just after breakfast |
Lovely pictures, I'm getting very jealous. |
Great pictures. I am beginning to think you can make anything look good. |
I tried to walk across Golden Gate Park a couple of years back, but got as far as the Japanese Tea Garden place, and realised if I was going to walk back aswell it was going to take me all day. So I remain a man who has never seen a bison. A hippy offered me some LSD though, so it wasn't a total loss. |
=I= like your holiday snaps, anyway. FYI, it appears that Lombard Street is not the crookedest, but this one, instead. |
That sports arena is the new Kezar stadium. The old Kezar was a 59,000 seat stadium and was home to the San Francisco 49ers for 25 years (1946 - 1971). It was damaged in the big earthquake of 1989, and torn down soon after. They then built a 10,000 seat stadium for local high schools to use. http://www.stadiumsofnfl.com/ pas...ezarStadium.htm The 1989 earthquake, BTW, occured at 5:04 pm on October 17. It happened just before the third game of the World Series between the bay areas two baseball teams (SF Giants and the Oakland Athletics). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Lom...ieta\\_earthquake |
I was somewhat disappointed by GG park. Not quite what I expected - too many roads in it; especially when I got trapped by a busy dual carriageway somewhere in the middle... Never did make it to the Bison... |
Great photos - see you made it to the Legion of Honour as well. I walked there from the Exploratorium past the GG Bridge - fantastic. |
Is The Thinker a replica or a second version of the original in the Musee Rodin in Paris? I've taken your absence as an opportunity to get a new kitten and post pics |
'The Thinker' in SF is one of 25 worldwide castings of an enlarged version of the original. Apparently. |
Ah - I had no idea there were others. New series opportunity... or co-operative blogging venture... visit and photograph each of them. |
