When I see the TransAmerica Building in the distance, there is no mistake I am in San Francisco.
According to Wikipedia, construction was finished in 1972 and at one-time it was one of the tallest buildings west of the Mississippi. It has 48 floors and in the past, visitors could go as high as the 27th floor to look out its windows.
Even the shrubery outside the building is shaped like a pyramid.
Happy Skywatch Friday!

Beautiful. I love San Fracisco.
It's a marvel. Cute bonsai.

Nice captures! I too love San Francisco, that second shot is vertigo inducing!
Nice framing of the photo, Karen, with the Alcoa building in the image. The geometry of the steel bracing on the Alcoa building compliments the geometry of the Transamerica pyramid.
The Transamerica Insurance company was founded by Italian immigrant A.P. Giannini, who also founded Bank of America.
What an unique building It make the city fun :)
beautiful clicks

An iconic building, well photographed.
That is sure one outstanding building! :)
What beautiful blue skies! Of course, the true star of this post is the building. It's really gorgeous and not entirely unlike the Shard. It looks a lot taller than 48 floors, doesn't it?
Awesome structure!
lovely spotted+compared! I have never been to SF...
Did you know it is the one building in San Francisco that never has a vacancy, despite its high rents it is so desired the office space is rented the instant it comes on the market. It is a "green" building too.
