Background scenery for the music video features geometric shapes of some notable architecture in San Francisco. The black and white film adds to the drama. My first |Tortoise| experience was watching them perform at the |Barrel House| back in May. The small intimate venue of hipsters gathered in the historical exposed brick commercial space in SoMa was a well-suited compliment to their synthesized instrumentals.

Erected on the site of the 1895 original that was demolished following the ‘89 earthquake, the rebuilt M. H. de Young Museum is a great example of modern architecture that enhances its natural surrounding landscape. Clad in perforated copper plates that patina over time, the long, dramatic lines and sharp edges of the exterior exude an industrial feel that create beautiful outdoor spaces, perfect for enjoying a sunny afternoon.
The de Young is a great place for that daytime date, tickets are only $10 for general admission, and the special exhibits, while additional, have featured some amazing art pieces like Chihuly’s massive glass installations (seen below). Current special exhibits include the work of the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, currently on display until April 5th, and Andy Warhol Live, on display until May 17th.
When a moment to relax is needed, the expansive outdoor patio at the de Young Café is a great place to enjoy the landscape, accompanied by a hot espresso. |de Young| |Dale Chihuly Glassworks|
