Slide Shows by City Birds

Our Flash Slide Show Section is intended to both augment our photo galleries and serve as an interesting format for publishing special collections.  All of the photos in the slide shows are downloadable.

Korea 1963

"Korea 1963 -- a Retrospective" is a slideshow trilogy featuring that part of the Republic of Korea ("ROK") -- commonly referred to as "South Korea" -- near the 38th Parallel Demilitarized Zone ("DMZ").  These photos were taken with a 35mm camera, digitized and enhanced for presentation here.  They are a look at South Korea's recovery ten years after the last shot was fired in 1953 during the Korean War.  This set of slideshows was first published by City Birds February 9, 2009.

Crissy Field

This slide show features the Crissy Field area of San Francisco.  Included are pictures of the field, old U.S. Army buildings, interior and exterior shots of Fort Point, and, of course, the Golden Gate Bridge.  Included is a Locator Map.  This slide show was first published by City Birds September 4, 2006.

De Young Museum

San Francisco has two fine arts museums.  Whereas the Legion of Honor, seen in Gallery Thirty-five, houses collections of antiquities and European art; the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park primarily displays American art of all periods.  Opened in 2006, the architecture of the de Young Museum stands in stark contrast to that of the Legion of Honor Museum. The de Young is certainly an interesting example of modern architecture.  A Locator Map is included.  This slide show was first published by City Birds September 4, 2006.

San Francisco Fleet Week

Although the City Birds Site has numerous pictures of Fleet Week planes and a Fleet Week air show video, we rather neglected the Parade of Ships.  Among other ships, this gallery features two of the ships included in the 2006 Fleet Week Celebration held the weekend of October 7-8th.  Also included are four pictures of airborne Blue Angels, U.S. Marines' C-130 support plane and a USCG C-130 from past San Francisco Fleet Week Celebrations.  This slide show was first published by City Birds September 4, 2006.
