  • The @presidiosf art docents give so much of their time, energy, and enthusiasm to providing visitors with a rich experience of the #AndyGoldsworthy installations, and we're incredibly grateful! We had a lovely afternoon last week celebrating their work and Andy's while he was in town working on #WoodLine. 📷: Charity Vargas (@cvpphoto), courtesy of @presidiosf #ArtAboutPlace
