It was a beautiful day so I was able to get a good panorama. This was 9 photos stitched together. You gotta love Photoshop! Unfortunately at this size it doesn't give the full impact.
One of the most famous and most recognizable bridges in the world. The Golden Gate bridge from the North shore.
San Francisco City Hall. There are some amazing buildings in this city - old and new!
Side by side...
Groovy!
Reflected...
Surrounded...
Looking straight up from street level.
The city area is huge. Block after block after block of tall buildings. There's not a lot of flat ground so you're going up and down a lot. It adds to the feeling of constant motion and the buzz of something always happening.
This guy was rocking out on the city street corner in the full blazing sun. he was pretty good too. Actually, this city is one place where you'll see it all. Lots of creativity, lots of money, lots of degradation and moral decay, and more homeless people than I've ever seen anywhere in the Western world. It was quite confronting actually.
There are some seriously steep streets... like a rollercoaster.
These ruins are amazing. Just like being in Rome... well, maybe not, but impacting all the same.
We loved seeing San Francisco. A beautiful city for sure but underneath the gloss there's a lot of pain and dirt - more than she'd have you know.

great photos man. know what you mean about big cities - buenos aires never ceases to amaze me, with 15 million the high-rises and city blocks stretch over the horizon when you see them from the plane!
brilliant photos Mark...
That reflected one is so very cool!
I have to give props to Bryce Green for the City Hall one and the reflected one. I was driving so I had to get him to take them for me.
