Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. GGBNVC_041103_05.JPG: This monument is a duplicate of the one at the Naval Memorial in Washington DC. The sign here: The Lone Sailor. This is a memorial to everyone who ever sailed out the Golden Gate in the service of their country -- in the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, the Merchant Marine. A ship heading for sea passes directly by this spot at the northern end of the Golden Gate. Here, the sailor feels the first long roll of the sea, the beginning of the endless horizon that leads to the far Pacific. There is one last chance to look back at the city of San Francisco, shining on its hills, one last chance to look back at the coastline of the United States, one last chance to look back at home. Thousands and thousands of American seafarers have sailed past this place, in peace and war, to defend this country and its sea frontiers, many of them never returned. This monument is dedicated to the ordinary sailors and marines who sailed from this place and did their duty.
2. GGBNVC_041103_06.JPG: Like at the Navy Memorial in Washington DC, there are a number of bas relief sculptures around the Lone Sailor monument in San Francisco. These are some of them. They look kind of funny if you look at them from the wrong angle.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
