Mare Island

Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo was an important shipbuilding and submarine port. The first ships were built in 1854 and the shipyard continued operations until it was decommissioned in 1996. Many of the old buildings remain, and are really extremely interesting. That is what drew Bob and me to the site. Please don't ask me what those pipes were used for. I don't have a clue!
 
But the pipes reminded me of a painting by a modern artist. Except again I strike out, since I can't recall the artist! Let me know if you can help me! And now it's time to give me a little credit for the composition!
