 This look at Coit Tower came at about 8am on a beautiful day. I had two good views, one in full sun and this one which "won". Coit Tower has a varied history. The hill (Telegraph Hill) was a vantage point from which messengers could spot sailing ships coming through the Gate. The Tower came later as a memorial paid for by Lily Coit, honoring San Francisco Firemen.

Minimal post processing. Crop, Erased a few leaves, Levels, Contrast and unsharp mask.

Interesting shot, but not a lot of interest in the structure. especially as the higher it gets, the more like its background it becomes.

The bottom 1/4 or so of the picture is just too dark.

Is this San Fran? Lighting is a bit dull and the interesting features at the top of this tower are lost (if it's the fire hose nozzle monument!). It's a strong angle though.
