Sutro Tower rises above the morning fog in San Francisco. This local landmark was the tallest structure in SF until it was surpassed by the Salesforce Tower in 2017.
Happy Slider's Sunday!

"Adolph Sutro, the self-made millionaire who designed Sutro Heights and later the second Cliff House, developed the amazing Sutro Baths in 1894. With his special interest in natural history and marine studies, he constructed an ocean pool aquarium among the rocks north of the Cliff House. Sutro then expanded his ocean front complex by constructing a massive public bathhouse that covered three acres and boasted impressive engineering and artistic details."
Iconic Sutro Tower reaches high above San Francisco to greet the new day. Before the construction of Sutro Tower in 1973 television reception in San Francisco was spotty due to the many hills. The solution: erect a giant three pronged tower that dominates the skyline. Problem solved.
Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.

The Camera Obscura is a large-scale camera obscura, in the Lands End area of the Outer Richmond District in western San Francisco, California.
It is located near the Cliff House restaurant, perched on the headlands on the cliffs just north of Ocean Beach. The Camera and restaurant are currently owned by the National Park Service and are within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Camera Obscura was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001, and is within the NPS Sutro Historic District.[1][2] It is within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, since being acquired by the National Park Service in 1977

A mile west of the entrance to Spanish Fork Canyon, the Rio Grande Zephyr train No. 18 rockets through southern Utah County at Sutro.
45 miles away (as the crow flies), the Bingham Canyon copper mine can be seen nestled in the Oquirrh Mountains.
Prepared to capture the sunset view with thick clouds at Sutro Baths in San Francisco, meanwhile, one cargo ship was leaving the Port of San Francisco in the distance and a group of pelicans were flying passed the setting sun under the brilliant sky. What could I say? Everything was just so peaceful and voiceless, which let my mind sank down into the associate sense of classical oil painting of the 19th century, likes as the artwork of American West painter Albert Bierstadt (1830-1902), and that sensation kept for a long time until the sun fully disappeared on the horizon.
On Sunday afternoon we went hiking at San Francisco's Lands End. We ended up at the Sutro Bath ruins, always a good spot for sunset. We had fun playing with the sun, communicating over distance with hand gestures - no mobile phone reception here.
I processed a photographic and a balanced HDR photo from two RAW exposures, merged them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

My father Dick Clark took this photo, I am guessing it was the early 1960's. Can anyone comment on when the baths disappeared? I don't know how he got in, but I remember that he used to joke that if you were wearing a white shop jacket, hardhat and carrying a clipboard that you could go just about anywhere.
From a cold winter morning up on Slacker Hill, watching the sunrise and light up the various levels of clouds and low fog wrap themselves around the Sutro Tower and the hills of San Francisco.
