Coit Tower from Chinese Cultural Center Chinatown in Hilton hotel San Francisco's Financial District 20150307-132341 C4
Coit Tower is one of San Francisco's lesser known landmarks. Its 210 foot high tower of Art Deco design was built in the 1930s entirely of Federal Funds. In 1934, four women and twenty-one men covered the 3,641 feet of the interior walls with frescoes in the first publicly funded works of art project under the New Deal. Coit Tower is a prominent structure from various points of view near the Marina, North Beach, even from as far away as the Golden Gate Bridge, and across San Francisco Bay. During the 2015 Chinese Lunar Year Spring Festival, Melody and I visited the Chinese Cultural Center located in the Hilton Hotel Financial District. It was there we saw this view of Coit Tower from the south with the view obstructed only by the architecture of fancy Telegraph hill residential buildings. The streaks in the blue of the sky are residue on the outside of the thick windows of the hotel. A must shoot opportunity of this rare view anyway with my Canon Powershot SX50.
