It was fun and a pleasure to fold such a beautiful and real looking model.
The building pictured is San Quentin Prison, and the ferry boat passing beneath the prison is the boat I used to freely take to work every week day between Larkspur, California and San Francisco. If I ever entertained any thoughts of stepping outside the law, the sight of that monolith would have been enough to keep me on the straight and narrow.

Opened in 1852, San Quentin State Prison is the oldest prison in California. The earliest structure on this site was a 268-ton wooden prison ship, The Waban, which originally contained 30 inmates.
Today, the correctional complex is situated on 432 acres near the San Rafael end of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and houses over 3,600 male inmates. Men condemned to death in California are held here.
I've been scouting this spot for years but the orange sodium vapor lights were unattractive. Earlier this year, some white LEDs were installed and the complex looks better by night.
The photo is a massive multi frame pano in medium format, so if anyone needs a building sized travel poster, I can deliver. Lens is the mighty 67 M*300mm f/4 adapted to the 645Z.
