Fountains and Churches



It would not surprise anyone to learn that the Bay area is blessed with amazing public art and space. Exhibit A: the Town fountain, a new landmark which is perfect for a small sailing town. (The sails actually rotate around, pointing to different directions of a compass marked in the surrounding pavement, and giving a slightly different view every few minutes.)



What some may not know is that the Bay area is home to a surprising number of really beautiful churches. Yes, the need for God and spirituality is alive and thriving even in the very heart of secularism. I plan to take more pictures of these anomalous (if you believe Fox News) spiritual centers over the coming weeks. I begin with one of the smallest: Old St. Hillary's. If there is a more picturesque church, I'd sure like to see it. What a great place to contemplate the meaning of it all.
