San Francisco: Legion of Honor

(for those of you who are interested in seeing my San Francisco trip images, I have uploaded 5 pictures in this batch [68 in the past couple of weeks]. Thanks everyone for your comments and your visits to my photostream! I hope you enjoy the show!) The Legion of Honor is a museum in Lincoln Park (next to the Presidio which overlooks the Pacific Ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge). The building is a three-quarter-scale version of the Paris hotel, the Palais de la Légion d'Honneur and was completed in 1924. The plaza and fountain in front of the Palace of the Legion of Honor is the western terminus of the Lincoln Highway, the first road across America. If you would like to know more about the Legion of Honor, please visit this Wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Legion_of_Honor By the way, for those of you who may not know, there is a very fun, free Flickr competition site which you might like to take part in. It's called FlickrDuel.com and features dozens of ongoing competitions, or duels every day. You can enter your pictures into many different categories and vote on contests too. It's another way to enjoy your photography! This image was taken during my trip to San Francisco during September 12-15, 2011.
