In late May 2003, while test flying my new Dopero in Berkeley, I bumped into friend Andrew Blyholder Andy, a fellow architect, brought me up to date ont he years-long restoration of the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. He mentioned that they would soon be whitewashing the glazing. So, I went over that weekend and shot the building while it was still clear.

I returned in late June to shoot the partially whitewashed structure. A page is also available with aerial images from a 1997 visit to the then dilapidated conservatory.

The source files are generally 1704 x 2272 pixels and run about 1.3 Mb each.
