  • Located in the Marina District adjacent to Crissy Field, the Palace of Fine Arts is the only remnant of the magnificent World’s Fair of 1915; The Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The World’s Fair was a crowning achievement for the city of San Francisco, whose citizens had succeeded in almost completely rebuilding their city not even 10 years after the great earthquake of 1906 that turned over 75 percent of the city to rubble and ash. <br />
 <br />
Built of cheap, temporary  materials for the sole purpose of the World’s Fair, the palace was spared demolition after the fair and was in partial ruin by the 1960’s. Conservation efforts succeeded in raising the necessary funds to partially demolish and rebuild the landmark to make it a permanent feature of the city skyline and culture.

  • The C&O Canal (short for Chesapeake and Ohio) is seen at dusk along the towpath at Great Falls in Potomac, MD. <br />
<br />
The C&O Canal was created in the 1830's in an effort to connect the Ohio River Valley frontier with the East Coast. However, trains were beginning to come onto the scene around the time of construction. Beginning with the B&O Railroad based out of Baltimore, trains could carry much larger cargos than canal boats, travel faster and be constructed far easier than digging and dredging canals. Construction was halted at Cumberland Maryland, 100 miles west of Washington, as the railroad arrived at Pittsburgh, making the canals original purposes obsolete. Nonetheless, the canal was widely used for transportation of raw materials such as coal from mines in West Virginia. The canal fell into disuse by the 20th century, and the National Parks Service purchased the canal in the 1930's.
