If you live in or spend time in San Francisco it is possible to visit a rainforest (within the California Academy of Sciences). For those who wish to act like Tarzan, it is unfortunately forbidden to leave the fenced walkways . . .

May I wish you a Happy Bench Monday. I hope you have time to sit and think or read or watch the world or whatever it is you do to relax. Sitting doing nothing (and avoiding doom-scrolling the news) is a very useful way of coping with the stresses of the present. I hope you can manage this amidst your normal day-to-day. Have a great day and a lovely week.

Scaled Walls

Scott Holcomb has posted:

I have always been interested in fossilized remains of ancient life. That interest also applies to old architectural design elements.
San Francisco still retains some dated architecture in splendid shape. Like ancient life where scaly fish crawled out of the sea to eventually over time become modern creatures, the early Victorian designs evolved from scaly façades to the sleek steel and glass skyscrapers that pierce the horizon today.

The Handle

Robert Swanson has posted:

This is taken through the front window. The handle seen here was used by the carman to operate this trolley car that used to run in the streets of Los Angeles. It, and some other units operate regularly on the streets of the museum compound.

It currently is part of the collection of the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California.
