I did this one backwards. I started at the finish, and felt that the exhibit was tired and sad, but then I turned around and saw the view behind me. I figured with the wind whipping around and the salt air, that would explain how tired this portion was. Sadly, that wasn’t the case, the start was just as worn and tattered. But sadness seems to be the point. This habitat was for the Black-tailed jackrabbit, that has disappeared from the Presidio. Apparently the artist, Nathan Lynch, thought a race with the tortoise would lure it back.
The view is stunning! I agree with you though on the artwork…Are you celebrating Cinque de Mayo with some delicious food??
