BART Temple (25 July 2026)

Have I ever written about this piece?  It sits atop the elevator.  This is Louis "Cork" Marcheschi's "Home," and it is so cheerful!

I found the name on BART's website in this inventory of all BART art (https://www.bart.gov/sites/default/files/docs/inventory%20for%20posting.pdf).

On the way to Bay Front Park (25 July 2026)

My sunny walk last weekend continued.  It was the first time I've been close to the sculpture called "Steelhead" (detail at top left) by Bryan Tedrick.  It was not my first time in the sculpture called "Louis" (lower right) by DeWitt Godfrey. 

Mission Creek and China Basin Park (25 July 2026)

It was gorgeous last weekend!  I wanted to test settings on my infrared camera, and wasn't confident that the fog could resist Golden Gate Park, and so I headed east instead.  The weather was glorious, and I was able to practice with my camera to interesting results.

Anchor Steam (25 July 2026)

It's been a while since I visited the local Anchor Steam brewery, which is inactive while it waits for its new owner to decide what to do with the beer, brand, and facilities.  Years ago I worked in the area, and always knew when they were roasting hops - it makes for a powerful smell that blanketed the area.
