One of #SF's nicknames is “City of Seven Hills.” A reference to the city’s origins and tallest peaks more than a fact. Most include #Telegraph, #Nob and #RussianHill along with #MountDavidson, #TwinPeaks and #MntSutro. Most can't agree on the seventh nor on the amount. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts

Despite being purchased for preservation, it wasn't until 1966 that CA followed up on that promise. However, the state didn't follow the hired firm's recommendations. It wasn't until '70 when Ranger #AlexanderWeiss, a Jewish immigrant, found the forgotten poems that the conversation shifted. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts

With #SanDiegoInternationalAirport so close to #Downtown, the #FAA has imposed a 500ft or 152m height restriction on buildings within 2.3mi or 3.7km of the airport. In reality, less of restriction, permits may be allowed if the FAA deems it safe. That has yet to happen. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts

A quotation from Richard Steele

It’s a particular Observation I have always made, That of all Mortals, a Critick is the silliest; for by inuring himself to examine all Things, whether they are of Consequence or not, he never looks upon any Thing but with a Design of passing Sentence upon it; by which Means, he is never a Companion, but always a Censor. This makes him earnest upon Trifles; and dispute on the most indifferent Occasions with vehemence.

Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
Essay (1709-07-14), The Tatler, No. 29

Narasimha is the fourth incarnation of the #Hindu god Wishnu. For reasons, rage is a key trait of Narasimha, especially early in the incarnation. #trivia

Yesterday (Thursday) was "Narasimha Jayanthi", the birthday of Narasimha. The occasion is observed with pomp in Waisnavite locations across #India.

I of course attended the Narasimha Jayanthi festivities in #Udupi. Of the many people I encountered, two were rather rude and directed some anger at me, which I thought I didn't deserve. Still, I handled one of them right, which is by ignoring them; but I think I responded a wee bit in kind to the second. 😳

Needless to say, those two interactions left a bitter taste in me, but I later consoled myself that maybe it was just that Narasimha cast his shadow on some people that day, what with him having just been born. 😀

PS: Anyway, enjoy this presentation of Udupi Krishna on the special day:

The highest point of #AngelIsland is Mt. Caroline Livermore at 788 ft or 240 m. The Raccoon Strait, at its deepest of 90 ft or 27 m, separates the island from Marin County, home to the #FrankLloydWright designed #MarinCountyCivicCenter. #photography #americana #wa #california #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts

The #SanDiegoAdminBuilding was designed by #LouisJohnGill, #SamuelWoodHamill, #WilliamTempletonJohnson and #RichardRequa in a #SpanishRevival style with #BeauxArts hints. It wasn't an easy process and ended with several leaving the project. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #photos #trivia #government

The #USDDoD, then #DepartmentofWar, owned the land on both sides of the strait and had to allow construction of the #GoldenGateBridge from #SF to #Marin Counties. While it appears and often depicted as red, it's an orange vermilion called "International orange." #photography #americana #wa #california #infrastructure #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #trivia

The City of #SanDiego's Fire-Rescue Department or #SDFD operates all public #fire, emergency medical, lifeguard and emergency management services out of 52 stations over 343 sq mi or 888 km2. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts

Immigration facilities opened on #AngelIsland to replace the old ones in #TheCity. Due to the #ChineseExclusionAct, Chinese people were funneled through the station while Europeans were never detained. Detention could range from two to twenty weeks and roughly 175K attempted to pass between 1910-40. #photography #americana #wa #california #californication #canon80d #blackandwhitephotography #travel #photos #trivia
