I love the Golden Gate Bridge.
Slender Pagodas,
impossibly high
above the windy Bay,
whisking one into
the magic City;
Or up to the glorious
forested North.
And Home.
Cadillac Building

The only human institution
which rejects progress
is the cemetery."

Click on these dudes
with their cogs
and spoked tires.
Cars today are
L-Ion Batteries
and computers!
And a sweet little
terracotta Bear Cub,
California's Golden Bear.
He's been watching
the street scene
in San Francisco
for a LONG time!
Did you see
his Comfort Spiral
eyes?
Cities are charged
with mystery,
energy and wonder!
I was on a tiny island
for a long time!

Gotta ponder THAT one!
