Thing Over Seal Rocks

<- Click here

On the edge of San Francisco
.
There's a thing
.
Above the seal rocks it sits there
.
Looking out
.
Which is what it does while we look
.
Back at it.



Have you seen it? If not... so look. There it is.

The thing tugged at my camera's lens. Look how pristine the place is. How sterile and bare. Scoured continually by Pacific winds. But out on this point poking over a cliff into the sea, against the sky hanging above the sand, is this human scene. And the mysterious thing just pokes at my imagining. There's a story here, right?

And this thing, by the way, sucks in light. Which makes it a lighthouse that works exactly in reverse to the way other lighthouses work. Now that's cool, huh?
