A walk through Lincoln Park to Lands End
Dave and I finished Easter Sunday with a quite walk through Lincoln Park over to Land's End. Nobody else was out and about. With owls hooting and the rolling surf crashing, this peaceful world was ours alone. These are a few of the photos from the walk.

Holocaust Memorial at the Lincoln Park The Holocaust Memorial at California Palace of the Legion of Honor is a Holocaust memorial in San Francisco, California, overlooking the Golden Gate. It was created by artist George Segal out of white painted bronze. Several of the bodies in the sculpture were designed to be symbolic. One of the bodies resembles Christ, another is of a woman holding an apple. Both symbolize the connection between Jews and Christians. The only standing man is thought to be the sculptor's representation of Margaret Bourke-White's famous Life Magazine 1945 photograph of the liberation of Buchenwald. |
