More Storm Damage Shots, Art from S.A. and Bay Area, twin pics

 More Pics of the Winter Storm Damage

THB, DB and Arenas (Sandy in Espanol) take a walk to the mouth of the Salinas River through the detritus washed up on shore. Of note: blue skies and shadows from the sun

Mostly what looks like bamboo has washed ashore

Arenas is walking on an "inland" beach, sand washed over the dunes

mouth of the river, just a bare ribbon of white surf washing over the sentiment

Big cliff drop-off, the highest THB has seen in 40+ years

The stranded barge in the distance is still there and intact, the river is too high to get closer

note the brown colored surf, that's sand / sediment still adrift offshore

Later that same day, THB is reading an e-book while staring at the ceiling

 Update on The Emery 

The interior of the building opposite the loft is nearing completion and the work on the park has startedd

The first building to be completed is now undergoing some updates

More work on the park. Not shown: the dog park landscaping is also underway on the far side of the buildings 

Rumor has it that the colored vertical stripe and end of the road is going to be an art installation by Jim Campbell (the guy who did the video thing on top of the Sales Force building)

 Art from around the Bay Area  THB and DB visited and made a donation last year to AMOCA, a very nice ceramics arts museum in Pomona. In mid-April Amocca reciprocating by inviting us to join a weekend tour of private collectionns and a docent-led tour of the Saxe Collection at the DeYoung. 

WHAT A THRILL!! Included were two very good meals, a chance to meet others with a similar interest in art to THB's and DB's, and pieces by artists in our collection. What follows are pics of the overlapping artists and a few that THB felt collector's envy over.
