Presidio storage

Old.

San Francisco’s Presidio is a beautiful area on the north west end of the Bay Area, well worth a visit.

Storage facilities – most probably empty – like the one above, are everywhere.

Nikon D3x, 35mm Nikkor MF, a lens far more satisfying to use than the 35mm f/1.4 Sigma behemoth, which I rather fancy will be sold soon.

Update June 8, 2014:

A friend of the blog writes:

I noticed that you called your 8 June image “Presidio Storage.” I hesitate to correct you, but I believe you would want to know the correct description of the image.

This building is one of a number of old horse stables. These stables were built in 1915 and were originally used by the 9th Cavalry.
