@erinwhalen - Looking up into the rigging of the sailing ship #Balclutha in San Francisco harbor.
The remnants of #Balclutha Railway Station. Up to 2002, this station was served by the Southerner train six days a week to #Dunedin, #Invercargill and #Christchurch. Not much is left apart from a rough platform and a couple of broken lamp posts.
