Shadow Shot Sunday #171 - Athens From The Acropolis - August 28, 2011

While going through thousand of old photos prior to my six month India stay and

move from the home I've occupied for thirteen years, I've come through quite a

few pictures I can use for various memes - plus I've had a wonderful time

recalling some wonderful trips to places about the globe.  It's almost as if  I

traveled there again - very restorative to my soul!!

Double Meme - Trees at the Palace of Fine Arts - June 5, 2011

When my friend, Merle, was visiting recently from Hilo, Hawaii, one of the stops
on our tour of San Francisco was the Palace of Fine Arts.  While the temperatures
were still cool, it was a glorious sunny day and we got some wonderful photos.
I loved the tree shadows and I am posting them both to Sundays in My City and
Shadow Shot Sunday, #159.  I enjoy both of these memes very much and urge you
to check them out and add your photography!

It was so nice to be there on a Monday when there was almost no one else around. 

Of course, all that is going to change, now that school vacations have begun and

tourism is going to be in full swing in our beautiful area of the country!

Shadow Shot Sunday ##151 - West Sacramento Tree Shadows - April 10, 2011

During my recent visit with my son, Alex, and his wife, Laura, in West Sacramento,
we were out walking the dogs on a very glorious ( but hot! ) sunny day.  The tree
shadows were wonderful and, of course, I had my camera with me!!

Shadow Shot Sunday, #141 & Sundays in My City - Japantown, San Francisco, CA - January 30, 2011

This past week, after leaving the office of my urologist, I drove down Post Street,
the main street of Japantown in San Francisco.  The area, six square city blocks, is
the oldest and largest such Japanese community in the U. S.  It was developed after
the 1906 earthquake.  It is an area of Japanese shops, restaurants, a grocery, and even
communal Japanese baths with alternate days for women and men.  In the spring, the
annual cherry blossom festival is held and there is also an annual taiko drum festival.

Japanese architect, Yoshiro Taniguchi, designed the Peace Pagoda, a concrete stupa
which was presented to San Francisco by its oldest sister city, Osaka, Japan.  It stands
in the center of Japantown.
