Name That Spot
So, it’s pretty obvious what the subject of this photo is. But can you guess where I shot it from? Do it in the comments. (Hi-res version)
UPDATE: This was maybe a bit unfair since it was taken from a spot that’s not a landmark of any kind. The fence that frames it runs along the South side of Monterey and I was, of course, facing South.

Way to sympathize, guys!
It is recommended that people donate money, not stuff. The above pic is perhaps the best possible demonstration of why.
Aside from all that, though: ew.

Today’s ’06 Lesson: Mission Dolores
Something about the empty space in front of San Francisco’s oldest building, pictured above in 1881 according to the caption on Flickr, draws me in. It was made of adobe. The brick-construction Gothic Revival replacement next to it crumbled in the ’06 quake:
Most Unfortunate Business Timing Ever?
These fine fellows look like they’re feeling on top of the world in their well-stocked glass shop at 18 Sutter Street, San Francisco. The year? You guessed it: 1905.
As the story goes, the business didn’t survive the quake of ’06 and the family relocated to Los Angeles. Ironically, I’m sure there was a tremendous demand for their product as the rebuilding commenced.
