The particular place doesn't exactly make the heart sing architecturally, and the addition of a tusk gives it a bit of a point. That said, I'm envious of the eternal sunshine that a benevolent, and obviously pro-Californian, deity blesses the oblivious populace with. We architecturally rewarded Europeans have to admire our edifaces all too frequently through horizontal H2O. Or is it the Google Street View effect? Even my current home looks almost bright on it. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=94306&hl=en&ll=37.42764,-122.143799&spn=0.001949,0.003562&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=67.840216,77.695313&hnear=Palo+Alto,+California+94306&t=m&layer=c&cbll=37.4 And here's my wife and I enjoying an impromptu picnic overlooking the Atlantic in Co.
