That is the top of a carousel on Fisherman’s Wharf

Thanks Jack… It looked like the “Cavalia” tent, but that was two years ago and over by the ball park.

Cool pic. I’ve been fascinated with San Fran since seeing “Vertigo.”

Nice shot, it makes the Transamerica building look like a thin Christmas tree. I didn’t remember the carousel but then, I don’t think I’ve been to Fishermans Wharf more than a have dozen times. I prefer the area where the seals congregate, much calmer.

Thanks!

That is the top of a carousel on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. A tourist trap, but a view that most don’t notice, especially in the daytime. I was fortunate enough to turn from looking at Alcatraz Island to see the symmetry/contrast at night, and I took advantage of the shot.

I have some others I took that evening, but none with the same impact, at least in my eyes.

Great picture Jack! Question? Coit Tower, the Transamerica Building, and… WHAT?

What ever it is I sure like how you ‘balanced’ them, Thanks.
