The photo was taken at noon on Sunday from the middle of Market Street near the United Nations Plaza. The nearly million people who watched and participated in the parade along Market Street on Sunday afternoon had this same clear view of the pink triangle on Twin Peaks.

The photo of the sun behind the spire is of the fleche lantern over the intersection of the nave and the transept of Grace Cathedral on Nob Hill.

At Portsmouth Square in Chinatown stands a monument that was erected and dedicated to Robert Louis Stevenson in 1897. On top of the granite pedestal is a bronze sculpture of the ship Hispaniola from his novel Treasure Island. Stevenson lived in San Francisco but was poor and unknown at the time. He loved sitting in Portsmouth Square, watching the ships sail in and out of San Francisco Bay. The inscription carved on the face of the monument is from his Christmas Sermon.

To be honest to be kind---
To earn a little to spend a little less---
To make upon the whole a family happier for his presence
To renounce when that shall be necessary and not be embittered---
To keep a few friends but these without capitulation---
Above all on the same grim condition
To keep friends with himself.
Here is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and delicacy.

TO REMEMBER By Robert Louis Stevenson

On top of Nob Hill, across the street from Grace Cathedral, is the Masonic Auditorium. Filling the entire south wall of the main lobby is an exquisite translucent mural filled with images and symbols of Freemasonry in California. My photo detail shows a small portion of the piece, with Grace Cathedral across California Street reflected in the glass. The mural was created by a gay man, and he has signed the right bottom corner with both he and his partners names. EMILE NORMAN and BROOKS CLEMENT 1957
