Golden Gate Natl Cemetery & I-280 (#0952)

The west side of the cemetery is adjacent to I-280, the freeway that runs across the lower middle portion of the picture. Traffic on I-280 requires such a focus that most drivers would not notice the cemetery and, though this picture suggests otherwise, the majority of the cemetery is actually below I-280 and not easily visible. It is thus not a readily visible reminder (if anyone cared) of the costs of war policies.

The housing on the hillside is in the cities of San Bruno (left side of picture) and South San Francisco (right side of picture). The famous San Bruno gas line explosion (http://www.sfgate.com/san-bruno-fire/ ) that destroyed 38 homes was in a residential area just outside the upper left side of the picture.
