triple header field trip

So we tested our karma with the the weather gods and traveled across the sea, or at least the bay, to San Francisco by ferry today to visit three photo exhibits.
The first stop was Pier 24 almost directly under the bay bridge.

About Face is the title of the exhibit and it is worth a visit. No more comments given. Then we headed up to our lunch spot, Hope and Anchor, a bit on the pricey side but a good Crab Louie. Next stop, the California Historical Society. This has become one of my favorite museums. All I can say is there is a "homey" feeling to it. We actually became members since we seem to visit on a regular basis. The third photo exhibit of the day was the Contemporary Jewish Museum for the Radical Camera exhibit. Also worth a visit. Then we both glazed over, our feet hurt and we stumbled back to the Ferry Building for a cup of coffee and waited for the ferry to return home. We both expected to get soaking wet at some point, but the storm gods were kind.
While writing this, Mike gave me the news that "the feds oust oyster farmers" which saddens me. Somehow back in 1977 I knew the National Park Service was not a good fit for me. My impression then, and now, was they are good at building exhibits, but not good at actually getting people to appreciate the land. We made a visit to Drakes Bay Oysters a couple of weeks ago, hoping that it would not be our last.
