The Obelisk

This is an obelisk which sits atop a fountain in front of a hotel
in downtown San Diego, next door to Horton Plaza. Used to be the
Omni Hotel (sight of a national OD Network convention too many years
ago) but it's called something else now.

Anyway -- the obelisk is probably two or three stories tall, to give
you some perspective. I decided to find the unusual POV. I think I
succeeded. It is narrower at the top than at the bottom, and what you
can't really see is the pyramid shape at the very top.

Don't let Dave Beedon know of this. He will dream of scaling it.
