[Pictures] A Morning Walk to the Legion of Honor

[Hmm. Come to find out, if I pull the pictures directly from the new camera without using the software, they end up staying in the 2:3 ratio. I'll have to remember that. The software isn't as good as the Olympus software was, but it'll do. I was hoping some of these would come out as the widescreen that they are, but they didn't. Learn from my mistakes, I guess.]

So! emmalyon and I walked up to the Legion of Honor Museum this morning to check out the Pissarro's People and Artistic San Francisco exhibitions, and to get some exercise in as well--it's a bit short of a mile away and all uphill. There's some great views from up there, as well as on the way up if you take El Camino Del Mar past the golf course.


Looking across the foggy opening of the bay, towards the mountains of Marin, as well as the Golden Gate Bridge.


The Legion of Honor Museum. This should have been a widescreen shot but due to my uploading mistake, it's merely just a bit warped on the edges. Ah well.


The single spire of the Main Building at USF Lone Mountain campus, a construction crane, and the twin spires of St. Ignatius Church, semi-hidden in the fog.

50: Nah Nah Nah

Some songs they stay with you,
Milling about your head like an earworm,
Regardless as to whether you love them
Or make you want to claw your brain out.
There's always one out there,
Like the Beatles' "Hey Jude",
A perfect single recorded during a turbulent time.
It makes you sit there, listening to nothing else,
Wondering how in the hell they did that:
Wrote something so simple yet so moving,
Something that strikes your heart just so,
And makes you realize that in this crazy world,
There's still a moment of absolute beauty
That can take a sad song and make it better.
