155 Sansome


Good title, huh? This was taken right around the corner from the Pacific Stock Exchange, another human form in the same style as the figures on the front of the Exchange. The longer I look at this picture, the more symbolic design I feel I'm failing to understand. The horizontal lines on the left are straight, but the ones on the right are wavy, like water. The vertical lines behind the rainbow are straight on the left side, but look like lightning on the right. The figure on the left looks like maybe he's working a field, while the one on the right might be in a boat. Any ideas?

edit: Thanks to Mark for this link about the architecture and history of this building!
