I have to confess the pillars leaning in bother me a bit - but still it
is really stunning

So one last one from 2011, Pillars.
I've revisited this place several times, the Sunol Water Temple.
Originally I spotted it from the freeway out in the middle of nowhere
(farm fields) when traveling once to San Jose.
Built 1910, it was designed by Willis Polk, who also did the Palace of
Fine Arts in San Francisco. Even though it near Livermore, water from
that area once was part of the SF water district (even though it's
miles and miles away). Of course, now it doesn't (a lot fewer people
back then lived out that way). It's pretty unknown now but used to be
visited as an tourist attraction after it was first built. There was a
big battle in the 1990's to make it a historical landmark. Now it is.
I had a photo of this temple in the 2008-2009 PDML Annual.
