What) Perched on
a hilltop in a South San Francisco industrial park, this
striking 92-foot-tall sculpture by Aristides Demetrios is one
of the world's largest aeolian harps. Named for Aeolus, the
Greek god of the wind, and invented by the 17th-century
polymath Athanasius Kircher, an aeolian harp is a passive
instrument played by the movement of the wind. Be sure
to visit on a breezy day to hear the eerie sounds of the
arched and rusted steel I-beams singing at their loudest.
Situated 243 feet above sea level, the site also offers a
beautiful panoramic view of South San Francisco and the Bay. (1)
Where) Grandview Drive, 1227 Masonic Ave #9, South San Francisco
Why) I didn't even know about this place until after we got back from our trip. The pictures I saw were beautiful though so I thought I would include it here anyway. Perhaps some day in the future I will even get to hear it play.
