I don't I have ever done a blog about Fort Mason in San Francisco. Fort Mason was the port of embarkation for the US Army for over a 100 years. During World War 1I, two-thirds of all troops headed to the Pacific Theater and one-half of all of all Army cargo went through it. Today, it is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area:
It is a mixed-use area as old officer's homes have been sold and people live in them today:
And there is a ton of open space:
And a couple of statues:

How lovely! San Francisco is on my "someday" list. I'll have to take note to find time to explore this spot. :) Found you via the Photo Friday linkup.
