Landmarks, Tanker and Tug Boats, and the Fog

Another beautiful fall day in San Francisco, with three city landmarks as seen from the end of Pier 8.

The tanker and tug boats passing below the bay bridge remind me of something from long ago - the colors are just right. I think the memory is from an old childrens book which has a tanker drawing covering two pages in the middle of the book.

At 3 pm, as the sun still shines brightly, the fog is starting to take back it's hold on the city.

Visit to the Cantor Center

On the day before All Hallows' Even, I spent the afternoon with a friend at Stanford's Cantor Center for the Arts. We viewed the exhibit of Diebenkorn drawings and paintings of Santa Cruz Island. Santa Cruz Island is one of the Channel Islands off the coast of CA.

Also on exhibit were contemporary glass pieces, inspired by older Italian, Greek and other pieces.

In very comfortable craftsmen style chairs upstairs in the museum, we watched some great cloud action above the campus.

Afterwards, we headed over to the nearby Allied Arts Guild to view the work of some local artists. These flowers caught our eye.
