Photo Gallery Forty features a series of photos of and around The Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco.  The Palace of Fine Arts was created for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition -- honoring the completion of the Panama Canal and San Francisco's recovery from the 1906 earthquake.  Between 2006-2009 the Palace was renovated and seismically retrofitted.  City Birds photographed the Palace at the start of the renovation and again after the renovation.  The first 14 pictures show the Palace in 2006.  The remaining 16 pictures were taken upon completion of the renovation in 2009.  Photo Gallery Forty was first published September 4, 2009 by City Birds.
