August 1st Theme Day "Metal": Skygate by Roger Barr


Skygate by artist Roger Barr: This abstract sculpture near Pier 39 in San Francisco is dedicated to the memory of Eric Hoffer (1903-1983) Longshoreman-Poet-Philosopher. Eric Hoffer has been a legend and an inspiration to many of the workers who are with the Local #17 Longshoreman Union at the Port of Sacramento.

I shot this photo after Christy and I had been offered the royal treatment with lunch and a tour of the Celebrity cruise ship in the background. ~ Barbara

    Interesting picture for today's theme. It looks like eagle's claw.

    San Francisco has some great sculptures along the piers and the Embarcadero. Excellent choice and wonderful composition!

    Happy Theme Day!
