Golfing near history

A golfer gets ready for his next shot on Lincoln Golf Course near The California Legion of Honor museum. Nearby is a commemorative plaque that reads, “This Tree was planted by Joseph JOFFRE Marechal de France. April 7, 1922.”

Photographer 2Composers adds, “The golfer is probably unaware of the fact, that both Maréchals de France, Joffre and Foch, visited The Legion and commemorated the war dead.”

Against all odds

This house, located at 1720 Anza between 8th and 9th Avenues, reminds me of the one in the animated film “UP”, trying to stand tall amongst its towering neighbors. I’m told someone lives there which is hard to imagine considering the massive hole in the roof… Top photo by Crooka.

Update: Thanks to commenter John for the tip that this house sold in June for $330,000 (Trulia). As he said, it probably won’t be there much longer…

A gorgeous shot from Sutro Park, taken right about where Adolph Sutro’s house would have overlooked the Cliff House and ocean. Photo by jakerome.

At his estate on the bluff anyone was welcome to stroll his elaborate gardens, embellished with statuary, gazebos, topiary and dazzling carpet-bed designs. There Sutro played host to presidents, writers, dancers and celebrities of the day. Everyone from Oscar Wilde to President Benjamin Harrison breakfasted with Sutro among the classical statues of his parapet high above Seal Rocks and the sea. – Outsidelands.org

Lemonade in the fog

A little Richmond District fog didn’t deter these young entrepeneurs from setting up their lemonade stand today. On the menu: lemonade, vegan cookies and regular cookies. Delicious!

Just because it’s a beach doesn’t mean it’s good for weddings

Brrrr! A wedding party huddles together during a ceremony on Ocean Beach today where winds were gusting up to 37 mph. Thanks to ob-kc.com for sharing the photo.

From tonight’s showing of Bruce Springsteen’s concert film, “London Calling” at the Balboa Theater. Their new Dolby sound system kicks ass. So does the Boss.
