Golden Gate Glasshouse

Julian and I spent some time recently at the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.

The conservatory was damaged by wind in 1995 and it took several years for volunteers to get enough money and interest to restore it; the opening celebration was held in 2003. It's not huge, but it's quite lovely. When we visited, there was a special exhibition in the rather psychadelic Special Exhibits room. It had something to do with circles of life and the interrelatedness of all things. Julian was most impressed with a pit of smooth black pebbles. I was intrigued by this sculpture.
