Coit Murals


In the lobby of Coit Tower (San Francisco) are murals dating to the mid-1930's. They were commissioned by the WPA project and capture California as it emerges into a world economy. The colors, perspective and themes capture what must have been a magical time in the State. Click here to see more images.


Lunar Eclipse from Alcatraz













I've been bad about updating the site. Last month we went with the cousins on the night tour of Alcatraz (highly recommended) and were fortunate to catch a full lunar eclipse. It took some doing to balance the camera and figure out the exposure but finally success. Click on the photo as it's best viewed at full resolution.
