The sculpture Cupid’s Span was installed along San Francisco’s Embarcadero back in 2002. Twenty+ years later, I still find it beautiful and playful, just like the city it represents ❤️

Fun to follow the San Francisco Bay sunrise location through the seasons with my morning tea. In a few months it will be blocked by a neighboring building (not always a bad thing).
