Even though street-level is my favorite place to be, the fascinating things one sees from a few flites up can also be interesting or even beautiful. Sure, there are umpteen views of nondescript rooftops cluttered with various forms of heating/ventilation ducts, pipes, and conduit, but once in a while you see someone's answer to what to do with a rooftop. In this case, I was delighted to see a virtual garden of lights while photographing the San Francisco City Hall one showery night. I think they did a good job on it and it was fun to compose with it when I was expecting another dark tar roof.

Thanks for having a look! Leave a comment if you have one. :)
