Cafe Pergolesi

Sunday mornings at Cafe Pergolesi in Santa Cruz in 1989 you'd find me drinking coffee at a large oak table in one of the rooms. I would spread out the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle and drink my coffee as if I didn't have a care in the world.

Google Street View, with Santa Cruz hooligans.  LOL

I happened upon this image, and thought how perfect the composition and how I would like to live in that house. And then I learned that it's the scene of an abduction at the mailbox.

Portals of the Past

PORTALS OF THE PAST

Portals of the Past is a monument at Lloyd Lake in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. 
It is the portico--the last remnant-- of railroad tycoon A.N. Towne's  mansion on Nob Hill, which was destroyed in the earthquake and fire of 1906.  

 Photographer Arnold Genthe captured the ruins of the city through this portal.  The photograph  became a symbol of the loss of an era.

As Abdu'l-Bahá walked along the shore during his visit in 1912--six years after the earthquake and fire--he remarked: 


"The world and its condition will change to such a degree...that nothing but a remnant — like these pillars — will remain of the previous order".
