After the conference in San Jose, I headed up to San Francisco to visit a dear friend from college. I also wanted to see this bronze sculpture by Douglas Tilden. No one I spoke with who visited or lived in San Francisco had ever heard of this work of art. Luckily, with my friend's help, I was able to find it. The sculpture has an unassuming presence in the square in which it is located, and is much smaller than I had envisioned. Still, it was very impressive to finally see in person.
