The Chronicle has a pretty cool feature on their website today showing rarely seen photos from the 1906 earthquake as tomorrow is the 103rd anniversary. Some of them are pretty remarkable to me.

Here's the city burning (thanks Funston!) from Alamo Square at the crest of the Hayes Street Hill :

Where are you guys meeting? I'll bring my wine and tofu and we can have an earthquake party!

The soccer field next to the Western Addition library! See you there!

That's a very convenient location for me, but isn't that like a billion miles from Casa de Finale?

Well, she works right by there and I work in the Financial District, so this seems to work best.

It's only about another two miles home (what's left of it) from there...hopefully the barbarian horde hasn't taken over Golden Gate Park by then! (Moreso than usual..)

Oh, yeah, that one's fantastic. The scope always leaves me kinda awestruck. And you can even see all the way out to my current neighborhood...although it was mostly sanddunes then!

Look out for falling garlic!

Well, you know, Morgan Hills was the epicenter of that 4.3 we had recently!
