Slip Sliding Away

Whenever I'm headed home, from a day's work or a long trip, there's a particular sight that lets me know I'm almost there. Recently returning from Europe, I caught a glimpse a lot sooner than expected.

Rounding a corner towards my departure gate in an hallway at London's Heathrow airport, I spotted...

...a British Airways poster plugging their Club World program, with a vista of the Golden Gate bridge. But no, it's not the bridge that symbolizes home. I had to look a bit closer...

Closer...

Do you see it yet? Faint in the clouds as is quite common...

There it is, Sutro Tower, looming over my neighborhood as always, letting me know I'm homebound and on the final stretch.
