A visit to SFMOMA

BJ and I met up with her friend, Kathy, and drove into the centre of San Francisco. We ate lunch in the Yerba Buano Park where a group of seniors was preparing to sing as part of a community arts project.

Then we walked the short distance into the San Francisco Museum of Modern Arts (SFMOMA). We had come to see a major exhibition of Matisse and Diebenkorn. It was very well curated, but predictably crowded. I found the Diebenkorn hard to understand unless I could see them from a great distance. Close to, the work looked flat to my untutored eye.

The people watching part of the day was fascinating.

We also had an interesting encounter over lunch. Kathy asked me about Brexit and why people voted to leave. I was just starting on a list of reasons and mentioned immigration, when we were interrupted by a British woman on the next table who forcibly disagreed that immigration had anything to do with it. So that started an interesting discussion!

BJ drove me back through the village of San Quentin so I could see the prison there.

Today's blip is taken in SF MOMA and I'm looking up in the central atrium. Can you see the three people on the walkway? One extra is a famous hill in SF, used in a famous film car chase. The othere is taken in a courtyard at MOMA. You can make your own caption.
