This comment is OFF TOPIC, and is about Cayuga Playground Park in San Francisco.
Perhaps you posting something about this park before, but since it is in your backyard thought I'd share this bit of magic with you and your readers.

Excerpt: “The entrance seems ordinary enough, though beautifully groomed — but soon you are in a land of the bizarre delights. As the BART trains scream by overhead, you notice strange figures among the greenery.” (cool pictures, go look)

Lots of photos
Excerpt: "City Gardener Demetrio Braceros has provided a self portrait. He's been creating this magic world since 1986. See it before some bureaucrat decides it menaces the good order of our city. There are literally hundreds more of his creations than I've pictured here. The park is an idiosyncratic treasure."
