More Local Pix

Emm and I went to The Legion of Honor this morning and checked out the Annie Liebovitz retrospective they were putting on, and decided to take some nice pictures of the building while we were there...


This one was taken from the other side of the reflecting pool across the street. I had a great wider angle shot, and it would have been a much better picture had the hippie bus not been where it was...I only got the back end of it on this one... :p



Here's another shot, later on in the day, from front grounds...



And yes, this is an actual Rodin "Thinker" on the grounds.



And looking northeast, you can see a famous bridge from there...



Or, if you look east, you can just about see downtown through the haze...



By far, one of the classiest buildings we've been to in town, and it has quite the neat collection. :)

(PS the icon was taken today too...)

...and one more for fun

Looking east out one of the windows next to my desk. This is looking down Bay Street towards the Embarcadero, where Bay ends. You can see the eastern half of the Bay Bridge (Yerba Buena Island, which anchors the bridge, is just out of view), and the hills of Berkeley are off in the distance.
