Remember in the 80's when a whole series of "Above ______" books came out? Filled with aerial photography of well-known places, they soon encompassed many cities and environs, even less photogenic ones. I still like to look at photographs shot from on high and found these in a recent issue of the Chronicle, taken by photographer Kurt Rogers.
Market street running up to the right with a slice of I80 off to the left. I was, and still am, always fascinated with the buildings along Market and their triangular profiles, wondering how it felt to be inside those acute angles.
Below Market and I80, looking west/northwest towards approaching fog from the ocean.
Along the bayside waterfront, looking towards Marin.
The Bay Bridge and Treasure Island.
East Bay freeways leading into the Toll Plaza.Better to be up here than among those waiting down there.
