Harry's view...
The view from the base of the cross on top of Mt Davidson, San Francisco - something I'd always wanted to see, since the first Dirty Harry movie was on late night TV back in the day
I'm not what anyone could call religious, but I do have a fascination with religious iconography... the gods seem to get all the good sculptors & architects. It all seems a little hypocritical - flaunting power, influence & wealth in the name of a god that preaches love, tolerance & the common good - & not a little Tower of Babel as well, building such grand edifices that strive to touch the heavens. The fact that this is the 4th cross erected on the Mount, after 3 others burned down, would suggest that whoever's up there isn't all that impressed with it
