      Today I found myself in a very nice conference room, with a fine view of the gorgeous roof of our Central Library, @laplcentral. #mydayinlapic.twitter.com/MHbmJePHim

      Love the hand and the torch. According to @LAConservancy, "the brilliantly colored tile pyramid at the building's summit features a sunburst and is topped by a handheld torch symbolizing the light of knowledge." https://www.laconservancy.org/locations/los-angeles-central-library …

      And as that link notes, @LAConservancy came into being in 1978 to fight the library building's proposed demolition.

      And the torch on top of the building is a replica. The original now lives inside the library.pic.twitter.com/P2eq5fwJA6

      The torch all alone in that niche looks a bit wild and weird. I've stared at it before, wondering about its origins. You don't see the drama of that coiled snake when you're gazing at the roof!
