Points
-I choose this monument because I had been there once but I didn't know what it was suppose to be and it wasn't located in the city.
-It has classic Greek architecture with classic Californian landscaping. Large tall trees, as well as the tall sculptured trees that line the reflecting pool. Some kind of pipe or aquaduc runs seemingly underneath the temple and in line the reflecting pool, but is only visible behind a fence behind the temple. The sides and bottom of the reflecting pool are painted an ungodly cyan color.
-Located at the back of the property, one needs to walk though the trees on a dirt path to the perfectly manicured lawns.
-Commemorate the building of the Hutch Hutchy and bringing a stable supply of drinking water the bay. Very accessible within reason.
-Very relaxing atmosphere. Very quiet, the road is not very busy. The temple kind of freaked me out but I think that's just a personal thing. The center of the temple had a grate in it and I could hear water flowing but I couldn't see it.
