The San Mateo County History Museum offers fascinating glimpse into the history of the San Francisco Bay region. Inside the rotunda, the magnificent dome dominates over the the Great Seal of the State of California.
With the 28-300mm lens, I’m pretty much limited to to the dome itself.

Of course, the Rock-ola jukebox came from a different era, but it is just as antiquated as a stagecoach for today’s children.
