San Francisco in 1971 and other wide eye openers
A colleague sent me this wonderful large panorama shot of San Francisco taken from atop the Bay Bridge in 1971. Don't click on the tiny picture here, click on the link in the previous sentence to see it in a large horizontal scrollable size.
I took a great Dogpatch City Guides tour once that talked about those huge buildings in the Dogpatch/China Basin area (the left side of the photo, on the bay side of Potrero Hill), but I can't remember now what they were exactly. I know there was some ship building going on, but I feel like they were some other sort of manufacturing. Steel maybe? Anyone know?
This photo is from the site of Brad Templeton (of EFF fame, among other things). He has many more similar but more recent panoramic photos available for viewing and purchase, including other places besides San Francisco as well. Here's a shot he took at Burning Man 2000, my first year there.
