Summer in the City
Summertime fog is common in San Francisco, especially in my part of town and even moreso in the outer areas like this photograph in the Sutro Baths area of the Richmond District. The Sutro Baths used to be the largest public bathhouse envisioned by then San Francisco Mayor Adolph Sutro. Enclosed with an elaborate glass roof, the Baths would have been a sight to behold. Money problems caused the baths to close and in 1966 a fire gutted the building.
This is my first post with my Hasselblad 500 C/M and I had the most difficult time scanning & processing this photograph because of my old crappy computer. I’m looking to getting a new Mac soon.
POTD: Caution by great Berkeley photographer Peter Baker. An inspiration each time I visit his photoblog, which I often do.
Looking forward to buying a Leica. And Hasselblad.

pnky August 8th, 2007 at 9:17 pmThis is an amazing picture. They eerie-ness of the fog makes the entire photo mysterious. Makes one wonder where does it end, you know? If you step deep into the fog will you fall off a cliff or will it clear up like night and day? I guess you’ll never know unless you’re there. Awesome!!!
