Description
One of three of my photos of the centerpiece of the rather elaborate 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, the Palace of Fine Arts. Three views of some of the statuary also are posted here (the maidens).The Exposition was created for San Francisco to honor the discovery of the Pacific Ocean and the completion of the Panama Canal. Also celebrated was the rebirth of the city after the 1906 earthquake and fire. A visit to the palace today almost is a journey to another world, with its many statues seemingly wanting to tell you something about their presence there for nearly a century.

Thank you "severely", Delores! Yes, isn't the Palace grand? I try to include something about each of my images in the caption and this attraction is loaded with potential.
