Lucy Siam, 77, a tenant of Lincoln Place since 1974, stands in front of a new art piece titled, ‘The Tree of 180 Keys’ at Lincoln Place. The keys were made from packing materials and hang on a 24-foot-tall ‘Holiday Tree’ at the make-shift Lincoln Place tent city in Venice. The number of keys represents the number of families who were evicted to make way for a condominium development. On Dec. 6, 58 families at Lincoln Place were locked out of their homes — the largest single day eviction in the history of Los Angeles, tenants said. In March, the remaining 86 households, which
have extensions due to disability and advanced age, will be locked out as well.

Waves were 10 to 20 feet  high at Sunset Beach on Wednesday December 2, 2005 during the winter solstice.

The roof is installed on the Ashes & Snow art exhibit, which opens Jan. 14 at the 1550 beach parking lot north of the Santa Monica Pier. The nomadic museum consists of a temporary display of 152 shipping containers that will house more than 100 large-scale photographic works of wildlife and an accompanying 35-millimeter film.
