To The Busman At Philippe’s Who Found My Wallet That I Left In The Booth We Sat In For Breakfast And Instead Of Keeping It Turned It In To The Lady At The Register By The Front Door Who Had It Waiting For Us When We Returned After Driving All The Way Back Home And Realizing I’d Forgotten It:

Restless and not ready for sleep, I was scrolling through the images of our Mexico trip and came upon the seven-shot sequence I snapped shortly after our arrival (following a long walk across the city) at the landmark and historic Queretaro Aqueduct, started in 1726 and completed in 1738. I’ve had little luck the last …

How Seen Is My Valley

I’ve only been to the 5,475-foot-high Dante’s View in Death Valley once (in 2002) but it is a spectacular place in a park full of spectacles that leaves an indelible impression. One not quite as indelible as the national park’s 11,049-foot Telescope Peak that I summited in 2006, but enough so that when I saw …

Wright There!

Last opened to the public 16 years ago, you can bet when I heard a couple weeks ago that a tour was being offered at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Millard House (aka “La Miniatura”) in Pasadena I didn’t waste much time getting two tickets for Susan and I today to see this remarkable piece of Southern …

Church On The Way

by Willlandmarks 01/18/200801/18/2008Comments are Disabled

Biking to work on clear mornings I’m always warmed by the facade of this eastern facing church on 4th Street a block west of Vermont: Though its shingle now reads Korean Philadelphia Presbyterian Church, the architectural details indicate it was originally built as a synagogue. A quick visit to the Big Orange Landmarks blog, verifies …
