Reminds me of the last words of Proust in La recherche " the sun a red blok falling beyond the sea".

Thanks Bookman, looking at your photos with a cup of coffe in my hands, they are pretty good, desert images have the quality in its inmensity of isolate , and purify whatever subject, cactus, roads, humanity, when there are no mens and womens you are viewing a million years ago landscape or amillion years in the futura.

Cold. Wet. Surf splashed my camera but ended up okay. Took 2 weeks to be in the right place and the right time.

A Day in San Francisco

A view of the Golden Gate Bridge on the walk from our parking spot to the entrance of the Legion of Honor

Auguste Rodin's sculpture "The Three Shades" (1898) in the "Klimt & Rodin" exhibition

Pano of visitors admiring two late works by Gustave Klimt:"Portrait of a Lady" (1917)

center-left and "Portrait of Johanna Straude" (1917), center-right, both unfinished

In another part of the museum: Pano of a display of 18th century French furniture

Pano of adjacent furniture display

In yet another part of the museum, here is a replica of the bouquet "Madeleine" leaves behind

at the fictional "Portrait of Carlotta" in Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo" (1958), part of

an homage display by Lynn Hershman Leeson entitled "VertiGhost"

Window display at the All Saints Store on Geary near Union Square

Pano: In Dashiell Hammett's novel, The Maltese Falcon, the "Hotel St Mark" was modelled after the real St. Francis

Hotel at Union Square (now the Westin St. Francis, with the U.S. flag out front). In the novel and both

films (1931 and 1941), Brigid O'Shaughnessy engages Miles Archer to "shadow" her

and Floyd Thursby from the hotel lobby, just before the plot thickens.

At the deYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park, a row

of shells reflect against their glass enclosure

In the Teotihuacan (Mexico) exhibit, an unearthed incense-burner lid

More unearthed artifacts from Teotihuacan

Mostly-recovered "Circular Relief" (300-450 C.E.) excavated
