Foggy Hilltop

In the northwest corner of San Francisco stands a windswept, foggy
hilltop. At one time it was so out of
the way the City decided to dig up most of its cemeteries and graveyards
relocate the remains out there to the “new” City Cemetery. As San Francisco expanded, it was decided the
land was too important for a cemetery.
The gravestones were removed and most, though not all, of the remains
were dug up and moved down the Peninsula.
San Francisco sent its dead to the suburbs. Lincoln Park with its golf course and the
Legion of Honor are now atop that hill.
The fog remains, and regardless of the landscaping, nature encroaches on
the park with its packs of feisty raccoons and now coyotes.
The Time Travel Photos will be presented in a new show at San Francisco’s Glama-Rama Salon and Gallery. The show runs from October 11 to November 27,
2016. Mark your calendar for the opening
reception on the evening of Saturday, October 15 at 7:30 pm.
