This is another photo from my trip into San Francisco last Friday evening. It shows the skyline of North Beach, also known as “Little Italy”, in San Francisco. The large pyramid-shaped building is the Transamerica Building, the tallest building in San Francisco and a key recognizible feature in the San Francisco skyline. The building is 260 meters (853 ft) high and is ranked as the 98th tallest building in the world. You can find out more about the Transamerica building at Wikipedia.

I had to wander in traffic to get this shot looking directly down the street. The resulting perspective really emphasizes the height of the Transamerica building and shows it dominating over the rest of the skyline. You can view a larger version of the photo here. It’s also one of those funny times of year when you can clearly see the moon out in the daylight sky, it’s easier to see in the large version.
