Description
Witness to History (1906-2006), 2006. The clock of A. Page Brown's Ferry Bldg has looked down on the history of Market St and The Embarcadero since 1898 when it was built to replace the old Ferry Bldg from 1875. For the 100th Anniversary of the Earthquake, the grand dame of Market Street was given a special makeover in colored lights. She looked truly beautiful that night.

Thanks Michael! I'm so glad you like them and I hope you enjoy them for many years to come. Actually I'll be in San Francisco next week for a visit, and weather permitting I am planning on doing some location shots in Marin, Oakland and Sonoma as well as various parts of the city.

I just purchased this and also purchased "Gothic Glory." I love them both! I live in SF and wanted something on my walls to relect the City, but I didn't want a well-known landmark (e.g., GG Bridge) so these are perfect. I hope someday you are back in the Bay Area and can take some Frank Lloyd Wright pictures like the Marin Civic Center. Good work!
