Thank you kittuandme!
Thank you arlanda--great mission!
Beautiful spot. I think it is a very good example of logarithmic spiral.
Thanks KatCuff--i can never get enough of them.
I just love the lilies that grow out there! I have some pics on here that I took when I visited Alcatraz a few years back. Nice job!
