A visit to Salesforce Tower at 415 Market Street in San Francisco, CA.
Some pictures from street level, some from the 3rd floor and the bulk from the 61st floor.
It was pretty windy on this night, so I kept the exposures short and the ISO higher (I didn't bother trying any shots with the curve in the road leading up and down Twin Peaks in the foreground because of that.). There was a layer of fog toward the north near the Golden Gate and behind the skyline to the northeast, too. I go here every time I visit San Francisco, and this time it was a challenge, for sure. The fog was no surprise, but I couldn't even manual focus on the Golden Gate Bridge at 200 mm distance. Some other time.
The original plans from Pelli Clark Pelli Architects called for a 1,200-foot (370 m) tower as the main tower and a massive three-block-long Transbay Center. However, due to considerations about how the tower would cast a shadow over some of the city's parks, the height was eventually reduced to 1,070 feet (330 m)

Salesforce Tower, at 1070 feet, is by far the tallest building in San Francisco. It was the last building designed by Cesar Pelli that was completed (2018) in his lifetime. At its base, above our new transportation terminal, there is a 5-acre park, an urban rooftop garden with landscaping, games, and an outdoor cafe.
