The Salk Institute
The Salk Institute is a non-profit educational research group that was established in the 1960's by Jonas Salk, the developer of the polio vaccine. 
Salk collaborated with the architect Louis I. Kahn to design the buildings and plaza. Extending into the ocean, the Institute uses light, space, and the natural surroundings to foster and inspire scientific thought.
Thanks to Stu for suggesting this as a place of interest!

I love the first shot a lot Felicia. That is beautiful. And the lonely figure is a nice touch.
Love the first shot! Excellent! :)
This place looks wonderful. I will visit this spot next time I am in San Diego.
Its great to be back looking at your photos after a busy couple of days - and I have to say, anything that fasters and inspires scientific thought I am all for it hehe
I like that water fall thing - very kewl and refreshing looking - the skies amazing too in that last pic!
Super shots! I'd heard the name of this place (I attended Dr. Jonas E. Salk Elementary School. . .) but I didn't know of it's architecture or of Salk being involved in its design. It's just stunning. Kudos!
