Quite a ways away.

You can see how the ‘bridge within the bridge’ spans the brickwork masterpiece which is Fort Point at the Souteastern corner of the Golden Gate.

Taken from the Marin Headlands on a very misty day, a quick round trip from LR to Snapseed and back added some punch. Heat haze is clearly visible in the distorted buildings of the city. LR assures me that the 45-200 Panny was at 166mm (332mm FFE) and who am I to argue? It was a long way to the subject ….

Much more on Fort Point can be found here.

A drama unfolds.

This little story unfolded as I was wandering through the Marin Headlands, overlooking the Golden Gate:

The chap was very insistent about just how he wanted posterity to remember his historic visit to the Marin Headlands, endlessly changing instructions (“No, upright”, “No, horizontal”, “No, closer”, “Get all of the bridge in”), the confusion unending, as the poor girl’s body language suggests.

On an iPhone 5, appropriately enough.

Here’s AAPL since Steve died and the guy with the personality of a hammer took over:

Art Moderne in SF.

You can read about the Rincon Building, bounded by Mission, Howard, Spear, and Steuart Streets near the Embarcadero in San Francisco, here. Completed in 1940, the original building was a US post office (a high rise tower has been added since) and has a raft of Depression era murals in the historic lobby, together with many displays of the history of San Francisco. The quality of the finishes, the stone and inlay work approaches that of the Rockefeller Center in New York, albeit on a far smaller scale.

A must see for those into period architecture.

Snapped in December 2013 on the Panasonic GX7 with the 17mm Zuiko for all but the fourth, which was taken on the Panny G1 with the kit zoom a couple of years ago.
