Most of the buildings in Railroad Square were built right after the 1906 earthquake which collapsed and burned this original downtown Santa Rosa commercial district. |
What a quintessentially California scene: Northern California with a palm tree and some sort of exotic evergreen tree next to it. |
Friday and Saturday both saw this lady entertain our end of the building (the rear end) with folk music lullabies and harp-playing. Aural valium was the last thing this slow show needed this weekend! |
I love the arched ceiling of the J.T. Grace Pavilion. It reminds me of my beloved Quonset huts. |
Arkansas quartz crystals. |
Morning light on the Rocks & Relics booth. |
More quartz; this time from Brazil. |
Various beryl beads. |
Vaulted window as backdrop to Dave's booth. |
For the first time I noticed all the cobwebs and thought how apropos their presence for the upcoming Halloween holiday. |
Scenes of empty aisles like this were common this weekend. |
Dave managed to have a decent day despite the relative quietude of the building today and yesterday. |
Railroad Square as seen from under the 101 Freeway. |
Jackson's Bar & Oven next door to my beloved Cellars of Sonoma. |
Cellars of Sonoma scene: Dave and I typically drink our wine here and bring over pizza from next door at Jackson's. |
Game 3 on the television in Cellars of Sonoma being watched by Giants faithful: Giants won 2-0 to go up 3-0 in the World Series. |
