It is Daly City, just south of San Francisco. If you drive northbound from
Silicon Valley to S.F. via highway 280, the boxes on the hillside can be
seen best from the section of road that takes you from 280 back over to 101
just before the city line. There is one particular stretch that is quite
visible from the highway, stands out somewhat on the hillside, and has the
correct color sequence.
