1906 San Francisco Earthquake Photo Exhibits

Yesterday, there was an article on SFGate about two new photographic exhibits commemorating the centennial of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake: 1906 Earthquake: A Disaster in Pictures (SF MOMA) and After the Ruins, 1906 and 2006: Rephotographing the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire (Legion of Honor).

Related to this, the Bancroft Library has created an online exhibit that includes an interactive map and a panoramic view of the earthquake destruction. And there is an upcoming exhibit at the California Historical Society featuring photos of the 1906 quake taken by Jack London.

Wayfaring Map: SF – Tiburon Bike Ride

I’ve posted another Wayfaring map. This one maps out the San Francisco – Tiburon bike ride. It’s about 17.5 miles from San Francisco to Tiburon. Grab a few drinks at Sam’s and then hop on the ferry back to SF. The map includes these “waypoints”:

San Francisco November Sunsets

The sunsets have been pretty amazing in the SF Bay Area the past couple of days, especially the sunset on Sunday the 13th. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me but I was able to find some good shots on Flickr. As far as I can tell, these are all shots of the same sunset, taken by different people from various locations around the Bay Area.

2/1/2005 Update:

Check out the Flickr blog for a similar sunset “collage” from 1/29/2006.
