This is a picture of the now demolished California Academy of Sciences building that housed the Steinhart Aquarium and other science exhbits for many decades until the turn of the millennium. The part of Golden Gate park where this and other museums were located was completely demolished and reconstructed, with the DeYoung Art Museum being constructed on the same ground, as was this building, in 2003. The other main museum located here, the Asian Art Museum, was moved to a large building facing on Civic Center Plaza and the City Hall.

The Hopi House, shown in this image, is a reconstruction of a Hopi pueblo as it might have existed about 1000 years ago. It was built the Fred Harvey company, the publisher of this postcard, as a place to exhibit, create and sell Hopi artifacts, and it houses Hopi artists who sell their creations to the visitors.

The image here is from the commonly visited Yaki Point, a part of the Kaibab Trail. While the colors displayed seem more modest and limited than in previous photos, this can be a result of the time of day the picture was taken.

This view looks down the length of the Grand Canyon instead of directly across, showing the number and complexity of eroded formations that make up the canyon. While it is often assumed to be a single large and deep cut into the earth, the canyon is far larger and the erosion more complex.

This image shows a view similar to the one in the previous posting, but this time the season is winter, and there are snow deposits on the foreground foliage and on the rocky structures in the far background. The north rim of the canyon is at a high elevation, and though it is in the middle of the western desert, it becomes cold enough for snow to fall and remain during the winter.

This image shows the great width of the canyon even better than its depth. The bottom where the Colorado river flows, is lost in the shadows and obstructing rock formations.
