Faith and Nature

With the Bay Bridge out of commission we opted for alternative means of transportation to make our way to Hunters Point today where a friend of ours was holding an open studio, along with hundreds of other artists. Here’s a photo of painter Carol Aust, Larry Hatfield and my wife Joann with one of Carol’s paintings. The painting shows two people on opposite sides of a chasm. I thought this was symbolic given the fact that the Bay Bridge is out, and we found alternate means across the chasm. Normally with three of us heading to San Francisco we would hop in the car and drive, but our mode of transportation today was BART to San Francisco where we picked up a City Car Share car to drive the short distance from  the Glen Park BART station to Hunter’s Point.  Traveling by train seems much more relaxing than driving and it’s more conducive to conversation, although sometimes the screech of the trains makes conversation difficult. Hunter’s Point is an old naval shipyard with some of the facilities now serving as artists studios.  I took a series of photos along the way. You can click here to re-enact our trip.
