BOB: South Tower -- OOPS!!

A nice view of the Big Orange Bridge's south tower, as taken from Lincoln road in the Presidio.

Oops. It turns out that I already posted a picture from this same exact spot.

So, as an offer of contrition -- here's another picture -- this one of Lands End taken from a spot about 1/4 of a mile from the previous shot.

Pilot's Row

These houses are in The Presidio at the northern tip of San Francisco. Built in the 30s to house pilots who flew out of Crissy Field, they sit directly across from the Golden Gate Bridge.

Trip to Crissy Field...

We took the doggies for an outing to the "off-leash" area at Crissy Field in the Presidio this morning.

They had a BLAST. Playing in the sand, meeting the other dogs, etc.

I took about 125 pics, so I'll be posting a couple more in the next few days, but I really liked the imagery of this particular one.

A nation mourns...

Had to cheat on this one. Blogger was having picture issues, and I was afraid I wouldn't get posted in time to make my "pic a day".

This is the flag on the Main Post of the Presidio. You can see the tops of the towers of BOB (The Big Orange Bridge, aka The Golden Gate Bridge) in the background.

The flag is at half mast (as are all other federal flags) because of the horrendous happenings in Virginia.

I whole heartedly support this gesture of national mourning, though I wonder, where is the period of mourning for all of the Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Coasties killed in the line of duty in middle east? Regardless of how you might feel about the war, these men and women are heroes fallen in the service of the US, and we should NEVER forget their sacrifice.

At any rate, the sight made me tear up a little. I have a son in college, and Davis, CA just isn't all that far away from Blacksburg, VA.
