A protective fence in front of a house on Gran Canaria shields passers-by from the sun, at least at some times of the day. I was attracted by the abstract nature of this physical barrier.

The Monterey Clipper has long been considered part of the local fishing fleet to the San Francisco Bay Area, the Monterey Bay Area and east to the Sacramento delta. The original hull design was introduced into the area by Italians in the late 1860s. The design came from Genoese lateen-rigged sailboats, known as silenas, then later referred to as San Francisco feluccas.

I guess that the format I chose--16:9--qualifies as at least a modest panorama.
FYI: The park* is a kind of zoo, but the animal and bird spaces are large and open. Most of the denizens are or were wild species in this part of the world. Also, storks come and go from Africa.

Park admission is always free to everyone (since 1871). Financial support comes from small, optional annual membership fees (currently ca. 9,500 persons) plus generous donations from individuals, businesses and charitable organizations.
