San Francisco Pier

Pier 7, looking back down the length of it at the Transamerica Pyramid, benches and lampposts running away on both sides. This was not long after I landed in San Francisco. I had studied in southern California years before, so the state itself was not new, but this end of it was. Third city in a decade, and I spent those first few weeks doing what I always do — walking it with a camera until it started to make sense.
