I’ll give you my take on page 65. We see the “Genie “ between two large Palms up in the air . If you check out the Fairmont Hotel you can see on the rooftop above the Tonga room three large Palms around a fountain / pond in the middle that has a series of lights pointing skyward. Again all speculation. ![44-AF1742-F815-4-FD9-9-FCF-E060-C13-E67-D5](https://i.postimg.cc/BQnJyNSd/44-AF1742-F815-4-FD9-9-FCF-E060-C13-E67-D5.jpg)
I don't own a copy of the book, so I only see the back of the book pictures when someone posts them here. But... damn.
Do you mean to say that all this time we've have a picture of a crescent moon between two palms and the image is focused on a circular thing on top of a pedestal???
If this doesn't scream out the Maine capstan in Charleston, I don't know what would.

There are plenty good clues at the Fairmont, but is it really the final destination?? WG seems to embody the Tonga room spirit, "The West Ghost lures his victims out to the earthquake perilled, partially reclaimed desert, with rumors of gold.." and "He implants dozens of absolutely outrageous ideas" and "gives you a sunburn where the moon don’t shine". WG is painted as a liar and devious. Then, we have the opposite of that in a young GW, eg. 'cannot tell a lie'. IMO, the story continues past the Fairmont. The painting starts with the 'table settings' and an 'F', but continues on for much more.

Have you noticed that only two of the rowers have "CUE"? Interestingly they may spell CU or UC. Sirens directing the boat towards the rock.

I still like to think that image of the “dragon boat” applies to Boston or maybe NYC. It’s a war ship. Maybe the shield also represents a port hole. Is it a ship to Valhalla?
Might have something to do with San Francisco. I see the potential U C. I see the bars on the window on the rock in the upper left side of your posted image . Might be script on the neck of the dragon. Those sirens are naked like Hermes. Is the dude in the back of the boat the Amazon guy , ( Hermes), delivering a package?

the sirens are the rusalka, eg. NY tie. Dragon boat for SF. The door looks like the SF door, but its in the side of an onion dome! hence another bookend clue.

You will see similar boats in some specific architecture in NY.

Cues could spell UC or UN. Tie in!

That North Church in Boston has an arched window . The lantern is anyones guess, I will go with all of the above. It’s just that those characters don’t look very Chinese in the image and it’s difficult to attribute Sirens to Chinese.

Sirens in this context is for fire alarm/call box/1906 fires that destroyed the Nobs mansions. Cue hair is pretty much Chinese. So is dragon and lantern style to a degree.
