San Francisco:
The City and County of San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and the 14th most populous city in the United States. One of the most densely populated major cities in the US. San Francisco is part of the much larger San Francisco Bay Area, which is home to approximately 7.2 million people. The city is located on the tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, with the Pacific Ocean to the west, San Francisco Bay to the east, and the Golden Gate to the north.

San Francisco is a popular international tourist destination renowned for its steep rolling hills, an eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture, and famous landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, the cable cars, Coit Tower, and Chinatown. The city is also known for its diverse, cosmopolitan population, including large and long-established Asian American and LGBT communities. While the climate includes chilly summer fog, the winters are mild.

wow :o great photo

Balwant,
One of things I like about this shot, is that the building is so abstract that scale is almost indiscernable. It might not even be a building, in fact! It could be a stack of books or bits from inside a machine, who knows.
Well, it's an interesting thing to extract from a huge building - if it is a building - an absebse of scale.

realmente es una imagen de vertigo!! :o

You've achieved a dramatic sense of scale here, we really feel the height of this building. Great diagonals. I think I would have cloned out those "things" that can be seen top right though!

Really excellent architectural shot Balwant. The composition is really good the way building emerges out of the bottom corner. Good sky too! And I like the reflections in the windows. I agree about the "things" top right. Posted a simple workshop.

Very good shot my friend! Worth entering into CCC next time.

All the best, Roberto
