Catching the light. . .Cyprus Lawn Cemetery, and Tank Hill

On an average day, Golden Gate Park, aptly named, was home to 99 varieties of light. I counted them. I will mention a few--you can discover the others: the oblique light between eucalyptus leaves at sunrise. The light in the Garden of Fragrance, which is set up as a cornucopia for every sense but sight. The little chunks of colored light that fall on the ground between the light-thin profusion of orchids inside the Conservatory of Flowers. The light on the Hippie Hill, where the first Love-In was held. The light-turning-to-cloud in late afternoon as the Pacific breezes drive in the fog. Andrei Codrescu

These photos were taken at home . . . at Cyprus Lawn Cemetery in Colma . . . and at the foot of Tank Hill on the way up to Twin Peaks in San Francisco.
