~nothing but blue skies~

April 13th, 2013

Self-referential detail of cigar-smoking, pants-wearing, fire-chasing Lillie Hitchcock Coit’s Tower fresco.

Although Coit is the Matron Saint of S.F. firefighters and was an honorary member of the Knickerbocker Engine No. 5, the resemblance of the Deco tower to a fire hose nozzle is said to be purely coincidental.
San Francisco really showed off today, with breezy blue skies, sparking sea, swooping flocks of wild parrots, picnicking with old friends and their giggle monsters, and a date with a Great Blue Heron.
