San Francisco: Canyons, the Waterfront and More
 

Mission Street's developing canyon got me thinking about its status related to some of the more mature canyons around downtown. Thus, I've been exploring more of these lately and took my camera long the other day. I also found some older miscellaneous photos I had forgotten about. I hope you enjoy them.

First, my inspiration: Mission St. just before sunrise.

Some miscellaneous shots I found while looking through my archive the other day. They date from this summer to a couple of years ago:

Residential towers from the Marina Green. Can you spot the very tip of the Pyramid?

You might think this is how the Golden Gate got its name.

Thanks for stopping by.

Edit: I added a couple of new shots on page 2.

gorgeous shots.

Wonderful photos!

Looks like a great Saturday in the city......love your shots from the water.

Love it!

I love those photos and that city.

Your "Misc Density Shots" section is exceedingly impressive!

those are awesome. San Fran certintly is nice!

Probably the best SF photo thread I've ever seen. Some of those canyons were on par with Manhattan.

Very nice!

Great pictures!

Nice pictures of one of my favourite cities!

That city is so sprawled out....

Great thread!

yee!! awesome shots!!!

it's eerie how similar SF's financial district and NY's financial district is at street-level.

Beautiful!!!!

What an absolutely fantastic photo thread. Thanks for sharing peanut gallery. I can never get enough of those canyons.

sigh. this one captures my heartache for those lazy meditative SF weekends long past. i was born loving that place. what i would do to start off every morning with this view at hand.
