The view is from Harford Pier in Avila Beach, CA a couple months back. It was raining that day and my camera and I took refuge on the lower level of the pier. Regardless, I could use a California vacation about now…

Roman Pool at Hearst Castle
The indoor Roman Pool at Hearst Castle is covered entirely of one-inch mosaic tiles made of colored glass or clear glass containing fused gold inside. The design mimics that of ancient Roman bath houses and (I’m going to guess) was a pretty awesome place to party.

Photo of the day: SF Ferry Building
Last week I grabbed lunch with some friends in the Ferry Building on Embarcadero. Afterward I wandered upstairs to find that it’s surprisingly quite, a big shift from ground level.
