A series of shots from Post Street looking east toward Salesforce Tower. I noticed this view while in an Uber, so I went back on foot with my camera.
Having worked as a shipping agent based on the North Wall Quay [more or less where the Salesforce Tower is being built] in the mid 1960s I am constantly amazed by how much the area has changed since I found alternative employment elsewhere. Back then the area was not at all safe and the working conditions were less than attractive.
I was unaware that Salesforce already employ 1000 people in Dublin or that they are planning to add at the rate of 300 per year up until 2025. The Salesforce plan for their Dublin operation includes the construction of docklands campus known as the "Salesforce Tower" on North Wall Quay.
Some shots in Bryant Park from mid May. There were far fewer people out and about back then. It's getting hard to avoid people on the sidewalks now.

San Francisco Financial District -- GGB in the foreground, Transamerica Pyramid in the "eye of the needle", 181 Fremont with the spiked top, Salesforce Tower the largest of them all, and the Bank of America building is covered in dark granite.
Now almost totally hidden by the highrises that surround it, Minna Street in downtown San Francisco has a most unusual history. The street was named for Minnie ("Minna") Rae Simpson (1860-???), a preteen prostitute who lived and worked in this area in the second half of the 19th Century.
Left as an orphan at the age of nine, Minnie turned to prostitution in order to make a living. A year later she traveled to England where she met J. M. Barrie (who later wrote 'Peter Pan'). She became pregnant and claimed to be Barrie's wife. The character of 'Wendy' in Peter Pan may have been based on Minnie Rae. Returning to San Francisco she became friends with Emperor Norton I (Joshua A. Norton, 1818-1880). Both lived on the streets of San Francisco in the 1870's with Norton referring to her as "The Little Countess". The fate of Minnie Rae is unknown. She disappeared in 1873.
Minna Street is more of an alley today. In many places, shaded by the highrises that surround it, the sun never settles on the street below. In this recent photograph, the building seen in the background is the new Salesforce Tower. Immediately in front of the Tower is the '100 First Street Building' and, in front of that (marked "Trulia") is the '535 Mission Street Building'. On the right of the photograph is the 'Salesforce Transit Center' or, 'Transbay Terminal', a new 21st century transportation hub that will oneday serve the entire Bay Area and beyond.
I didn't make it in time to San Francisco today as I woke up too late in this morning. So I decided to head over to Emeryville to see the Blue Angeles. At least I could see them with the San Francisco skyline. It turned out quite okay.
San Francisco is bereft of observation decks to view the city from. Hamon Tower on the De Yong Museum is one of the few but its location in Golden Gate Park means there isn't much to look at besides tree tops and the low density housing of Outer and Lower Richmond.
This is the view downtown. The Transamerica Pyramid and Salesforce Tower are visible, as is St. Ignatius Church on the right.

Based on a petition, the Salesforce tower was converted to Barad-Dur - otherwise known as the Eye of Sauron - for Halloween 2018 in San Francsico
Columbus Avenue is one of the few streets in this part of San Francisco that does't follow the quadrangular pattern of the city. It's more a diagonal. In the distance are the Transamerica Pyramid (1972) and the Salesforce Tower (2018).
A view from the ship from Alcatraz back to San Francisco. Seen here is Telegraph Hill with Colt Tower (1933) and some of the skyscrapers of downtown San Francisco. From the left the Salesforce Tower (2018), the Transamerica Pyramid (1972) and 555 California Street Building (1969).

From left to right:
- the new (to us, anyway) Salesforce Tower - the tallest building in San Francisco. The 61st floor is supposed to be open for the best view in SF in 2019.
- Coit Tower - There's a public viewing floor up top, there will be photos from up there coming along here in a few days.
- Transamerica Building - previously the highest building in SF, not any more.

Salesforce Tower dominates the skyline behind this giant red sculpture. The Merchandise Mart ("The Mart") can be seen to its right, illuminated in blue and red for the nightly Art on The Mart show.
The Mart is worth a brief digression. Built in 1930 as a warehouse for Marshall Field & Co., it held the title of the largest (though not tallest) building in the world for the following thirteenn years. In 1943, it lost its title to...any guesses? The Pentagon. In 1945 The Mart was sold to Joseph Kennedy, the father of JFK. The Kennedy family sold it in 1998.

Stunning shots of the Salesforce Tower at dusk. Look at those amazing LED's! Drone shots available for purchase at www.droneshot.com
I saw this reflection of the Salesforce Tower while walking along Mission Street. I don't know what building that is with the reflection. It's disappointing that the Transit Center is still closed for repair.
After seeing Kevin's shot from Potrero Hill, I decided to head into the city and see what I could come up with. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a complete replication of what Kevin had gotten because of the new Sales Force Tower. It is now the tallest building west of Chicago and required me to use a wider lens to be able to get both the street in the foreground and the top of the building in the shot.

The Chicago River and Riverwalk offer stunning views of Chicago architecture within the Loop and River North districts.
Salesforce Tower Chicago (2023), designed by Pelli Clarke & Partners, is a 57-storey, 835 feet (255 meter) tall tower situated at the convergence of the north and south branches of the Chicago River. A series of gently tapering setbacks give the tower a striking sculptural profile, and the curtain walls combine glass and metal to balance transparency and stability. @chicago
