photo of the week: stained glass


OK, technically this is a photo of last week. I was over to Mountain View Cemetery to investigate some Oakland history, and spent some time in the main mausoleum to do some genealogy research to thank others who have done research that I've benefited from. I haven't spent much time in the main mausoleum (seemed boring compared with interesting grave markers), so it was a good excuse to spend some time there. I followed some very detailed directions through the labyrinthine mausoleum and found the info I was looking for. Remembering the adage of the late Galen Rowell, I turned around and saw this lovely view.

  1. And yes, this would have been better if I'd stepped to the right to make it symmetrical...
