This place is fantastic. Taking an hour of unending twists and turns up a mountain to get there, the pay off is the incredible view and fantastic atmosphere of this place. It's old school. Built in the late 1800's, it seems it was once a little village. Now, it's an observatory with 2 telescopes, a dormitory for the employees, and a handfull of decrepit abandoned little buildings on the tippy top of a mountain overlooking the south bay area. The buildings of the observatory are old school too, like if you're in a convent or church basement or old boarding school. It has that wicked, 1920's instinstitutional feel that I love. Old wood and ancient bathrooms with little blue tiles and narrow stairways....Did I mention the fantastic view? I want to live somewhere like this, high up in a mountain in an abandonned convent or observatory.
