Afternoon sunlight streaming through modern stained glass yesterday shot this onto the concrete under the porticoed entrance to Whole Foods in Roseville, California. I captured it with my Galaxy 8 smartphone.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

Reminds me of the last words of Proust in La recherche " the sun a red blok falling beyond the sea".

Thanks Bookman, looking at your photos with a cup of coffe in my hands, they are pretty good, desert images have the quality in its inmensity of isolate , and purify whatever subject, cactus, roads, humanity, when there are no mens and womens you are viewing a million years ago landscape or amillion years in the futura.

I'm adding one more photo to show something that's in the 3rd image but is too small to be seen.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

In yet another part of the museum, here is a replica of the bouquet "Madeleine" leaves behind

Pano: In Dashiell Hammett's novel, The Maltese Falcon, the "Hotel St Mark" was modelled after the real St. Francis

Hotel at Union Square (now the Westin St. Francis, with the U.S. flag out front). In the novel and both

films (1931 and 1941), Brigid O'Shaughnessy engages Miles Archer to "shadow" her

and Floyd Thursby from the hotel lobby, just before the plot thickens.
