Picturing Cupid's Arrow

"Cupid's Arrow" by, Coosje van Bruggen, graces the Embarcadero, along the waterfront, about half-way between the Ferry Building and the Giants baseball park. The sculptress chose a bow and arrow for San Francisco's title, the City of Eros ~ a clever double entandre! The stainless steel and fiber-reinforced plastic sculpture is also meant to compliment both the Bay Bridge and the, further off, Golden Gate Bridge. (picture taken with my old "tilt" phone.)
