Palace of Fine Art San Francisco


After 4 trips to San Francisco, after the vagueries of (foggy) weather and their landscaping schedule, I finally saw the Palace of Fine Art in San Francisco and its
newly landscaped grounds in sunshine. What I really wanted to capture was the Roman rotunda (fantastic color!) against a blue sky. Hurray!

Now owned by the City of San Francisco, the Palace of Fine Arts was built in 1915 for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition on land previously part of the Presidio.

If you are in this part of the world, go see the Longnow Foundation as well. Its only about a mile away at Fort Mason and they've got a great orrery.
