Distance: A few blocks. Home yoga
Speaking of ethereal city lights (see yesterday), Ciwt thinks these new ones at Grace Cathedral are beautiful. And so do the Cathedral's neighbors (with nods to Sam Whiting at sf chronicle):
For 30 years on Nob Hill, architect Nelson Chick has walked his dogs at dusk and wondered why Grace Cathedral did not illuminate its enormous stained-glass window.
Then last Monday evening in late November he came to Huntington Park and was stunned by what he saw across the street.
Above the front door of the dark Gothic church
the rose window was sending and intricate and abstract pattern of red, orange, amber, turquoise, white, blue and violet pattern across the hilltop park. He stopped to take it in thinking "Wow! That's beautiful." But then of course got yanked back into action by his dog who was out for the walk, not the scenery no matter how artistically lit.The lights are the result of a bulb illuminating in the mind of light artist Elaine Buckholtz, a Boston
artist currently in residency at Grace Cathedral. They are temporary, but Ciwt (and probably Buckholtz and many residents and visitors) hopes some 'savior will find a way to keep them on whenever it gets dark
- for a long, long time.
