Today in Labor History April 1, 1649: Diggers occupied St. George's Hill, in Surrey, England, seizing land to hold in common and to grow food. Other Digger communities followed in Little Heath, Wellingborough, Buckinghamshire and other regions. The Diggers are sometimes seen as forerunners of modern anarchism. In 1966, members of the San Francisco Mime Troupe formed a Diggers group, handing out free food to hippies in Golden Gate Park. The original Diggers influenced the anti-roads and squatting movements in England and elsewhere. They inspired the Leon Rosselsen song, “The World Turned Upside Down,” seen in the Youtube video, above, performed by Billy Bragg.

My Sutro Tower paintings are up at Cafe Suspiro! Here's a rather dark photo I took after-hours. You can see better pictures of the art and purchase at https://heatherrobinson.com/sutro-tower-art. 50% of the proceeds will go to Raul, Cafe Suspiro's owner, as he recovers from a recent stroke.

If you want to visit this great little cafe, it's 1246 Folsom St between 8th and 9th in SF.

Palace of Fine Arts Infrared III

The infrared photograph shows the Palace of Fine Arts glowing in bright, ethereal tones. Its grand dome and colonnades rise beside a still pond, with trees rendered in luminous white. The scene feels serene, architectural, and dreamlike, with crisp contrast and a timeless atmosphere.
