Pyramid of Color

At least, ...it was for several nights around the last Super bowl--- held at the San Francisco 49ers' football stadium down in Santa Clara.

Anyway, it used to be an old joke about the chances of the Transamerica Pyramid being illuminated in colored light, like the City Hall and Coit Tower are. But, the joke became reality when, while looking at one of the very handy live cams out there one night, I could tell there was something extra making the pyramid glow. The confusing part was how it changed off and on due to the web cam refreshing during different colors.

So, the thing to do was go down and see. It was great. I saw many photographers at every spot I shot from and many of my contacts from flickr took great images of something that may not happen again. I mean, that took some money.

 

Thanks for checking out the shot!
