This is an entrance to Golden Gate Park, and I have stood and looked at it thousands of times, because this is also the corner where I catch the bus to go home from work five afternoons out of seven. Below the picture of the park entrance is the picture of the piece of the park wall that I lean against while I wait for the bus. The stones have stood here for about a century. Each block was carved to resemble the natural surface of weathered rocks, they called this type of carved stone "rusticated" and this style of carving was much in fashion a century ago.
