once again America has put something interesting at a train station only after making it impossible to get to by train. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article…
A text document with the following text: "Midway through Sunday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Atherton Train Station Museum, the train itself came roaring through the station without even slowing down. Caltrain no longer stops in Atherton, which is the whole reason the unique glass box depot house was available to be turned into a monument to the old commuter line."

lovely jog up the mountain this morning. from my new place it’s somewhat easier to come around the backside on Clarendon to Marview which puts you on a high plateau behind the peaks—and right at the base of @SutroTower. #sanfrancisco #running

quick trip up to run the Humboldt Redwoods half marathon on Avenue of the Giants. perfect weather for it. #redwoods #running
Two lane road running through enormous trees looking toward the sun split by the branches. Dozens of runners ahead of the camera. Sunlight split by the branches of enormous trees. Numerous runners on the road in both directions. Tall trees along the roadway. A small number of runners ahead on the road. Grainy long range snapshot of a road curving uphill into tall trees. Many runners descending.

1963 Lake Tahoe Airport Postcard . #LakeTahoe #Airport #Postcard #Lockheed #Constellation #Aviation #Travel #Avgeek #Ephemera
Vintage color postcard photograph of Lake Tahoe Airport in California, circa 1963, showing a large four-engine Lockheed Constellation passenger aircraft parked on the airport apron. The aircraft has a white upper fuselage, a red lower fuselage, and three distinctive vertical tail fins. Several smaller light aircraft are parked around the airfield, including a helicopter visible in the background to the right. A low, single-story airport terminal building with a long row of windows and a light-colored roof stands beside the apron. Numerous mid-century automobiles, station wagons, and vans are parked along the road in front of the terminal, illustrating the airport's roadside setting. A person wearing a red top stands near the terminal entrance. Tall light poles rise above the paved aircraft parking area. In the foreground, a paved access road curves past rocks, shrubs, and flowering plants, including bright red flowers. Beyond the airport, a dense belt of evergreen trees stretches across the landscape, with the forested Sierra Nevada mountains rising behind it under a clear blue sky. The scene captures the small regional airport's mid-century appearance, with its compact terminal, general aviation activity, and mountainous surroundings.

R.I.P. Peter Max . #PeterMax #rip #Artist #Artwork #PanAm #Aviation #Avgeek #B747
A colorful psychedelic poster by Peter Max promoting Pan Am’s Boeing 747. A large silver-and-blue Pan Am 747 dominates the composition, flying diagonally from the upper left toward the lower right. Behind the aircraft are brightly colored geometric bands in red, yellow, orange, blue, green, and pink, filled with clusters of white and dark-blue stars, circles, and small planets. The Pan Am globe logo and “747” appear prominently near the top. In the upper-right corner, a whimsical stylized figure in a colorful patterned outfit floats among stars. The lower-right corner features an abstract partial face and additional planetary imagery. A small ringed planet appears in the lower-left corner, while Peter Max’s signature logo is centered along the bottom edge. The overall design uses bold outlines, saturated colors, geometric shapes, and fantastical imagery characteristic of Max’s psychedelic commercial artwork.

tried to jog up Montara mountain from Montara today—made it up but not enjoyably. the weather was nice though. #trailrunning
A wide dirt road with hikers wraps around a scrubby hillside. In the background fog approaches a city. Two freestanding trees on adjoining hills stick into the roiling fog beyond. Vines grow on tall straight trees in a foggy forest along a dirt path. A horse stands over a wood fence with blinders on. Signs say DIVA, and a more stern one:

Update: everything turned out fine, and I'm on my way home. I took the opportunity on my way out to finally stop to get some proper pictures of one of my favorite trees in the world, this lonely juniper in a pullout on Nevada 447 in the absolute middle of nowhere.
A large juniper tree stands in the middle of a gravel turnout. Behind it is a very small highway and brown hills with exposed rocky outcrops. There are no other trees in sight.
