For whatever reason, SQ decided to drive home via Geary Blvd on our way back home. We drove to the end of Geary and around the Cliff House curve. Then from a distance, on the beach – something caught our eye. What is it? Are those horses? Are those people? Are they moving? We quickly parked our cars to take a closer look. What we saw was simply amazing… over 100 boards of Indians (Native Americans if you want to be PC) stood along the beach. The size of each board is over 10 feet tall. I took these pictures with my camera phone.
Intrigued by this display, I went on-line to find out more information. Apparently, this is a moving exhibit that travels around the nation. It is created by an artist named Thom Ross, who was inspired by Buffalo Bill Cody’s 1902 photograph of his Wild West show. The artist then re-created the scene with these 120 pieces. Exhibit will remain at Ocean Beach until Sept 15. Below is the original 1902 photo and today’s re-creation.
