Peaceful view

Was fortunate to experience a full relax with this view in my eyes. 
 

Lovely Day

 

Friends flew up from LA area for a day visit. Had fun in a relaxed but gallivanting way. View above was at a late afternoon rest spot. So so special for them to share their hearts with me in this way. 

Marin County Civic Center Spire

 

A close up view of the spire at the Marin County Civic Center.  Quite a history with this building. 

Below -- while under construction - 1959/1960. Photographs from my parents took many years ago...I just snapped picture from the slides, so not as clear as the slide reveals, but gives an idea. Second below, view from the first building (County) looking over to the lake there before it was developed.  And, then a view of the fountains at the lake -- wish they still kept them running. The design of Frank Lloyd Wright was to have the fountain flow from the County Offices (as it does today), but also symbolically flow to the lake with those fountains ushering the water into the lake.  Likely something to do with government for the people and the good of the land.  We won't even get into the Earth globe that was installed at the Post Office, angled to the Spire  - the symbolism there. County took it down the Earth  years ago -- it should go back up, as not only was it part of the architecture and the "message," but it was fun to walk by and see at night -- lighted from within,
