The Palace of Fine Arts was initially built for the Pan-Pacific Exposition in the 1930s, heralding San Francisco's rebirth after the 1906 earthquake.

A few short miles from downtown San Francisco, horses roam in the fields of Marin County, California.

Marin County is blessed with acres of open spaces, both public and private.

Orchids from all over the world can be seen in the Arboretum in Golden Gate Park.
