๐ Congrats to Cory B., who was one of a handful of readers who correctly identified the Golden Hill Fountain Grotto.
Good, but incorrect, guesses included Balboa Park's former nudist colony at Zoro Garden and the Juniper Staircase down Cabrillo Canyon.
The big picture: The Golden Hill Fountain Grotto โ just outside the main loop in Golden Hill Park, which is within Balboa Park's boundaries โ was designed in 1907 by Henry Lord Gay.
