There's also North Beach and Chinatown(for the street photographers) or Golden Gate Park (for nature photographers). Pat in SF ========= It certainly does. And San Francisco would be sort of central (except for Bruce). But not that far. Sonoma Mission might work too. What I am going to is pop Mom in the car and drive down to Mission San Jose on Thursday and take some shots of the layout (nothing fancy) and report back. Post some pictures (better than we can see on the Net which really don't tell us much). I have also suggested: Borges Ranch (Contra Costa -- old farm buildings -- I have not visited there yet), wild flowers on Mt. Diablo (not sure how many there are in early March), Ruth Bancroft Gardens (world famous -- have to reserve -- desert plants -- Contra Costa), etc. I like your suggestions too, Pat. ================ 1. Alcatraz Island (for the prison and Bay views, weather depending) plus SF water front? 2. Newly remodeled SF Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. In spring time, they have a glorius flower layout in front of the conservatory. http://www.conservatoryofflowers.org/index.htm 3. Filoli Gardens (near Crystal Springs Reservoir, along I-280). I've never been but heard nice things. http://www.filoli.org/index.html =========== Godfrey DiGiorgi mused: > > I don't know about doing photography [at the Rosicrucian Museum] > they likely require permits and such ... John Francis wrote: I wouldn't suggest trying to photograph *inside* the museum. But it's in a public park, which doesn't require anything special. ================== And, yes, I was suggesting photographing OUTSIDE at the Egyptian Museum. Which should also offer some people shots. Why don't we keep discussing, but hold final decision until I can report back on Mission San Jose. I do think the mission idea captured people's attention/interest. And now Mom is looking forward to the outing. My .02. Marnie aka Doe
