On The Job-Coit Tower

Coit Tower sits atop Telegraph Hill. Shaped to resemble a firehose nozzle, Lily Coit built this in honor of the firefighters who served the city

Expansive views are offered to those who make their way up to this landmark. Some of the view is somewhat obstructed by trees. Here is the Golden Gate Bridge to the west
For a fee, you can take an elevator to the top of the monument to get an unobstructed view of the city.
The view of the empty Bay Bridge as it finally reopened after being closed for several days frustrating many a driver.
