San Francisco from the Air

San Francisco from the Air by Fabrizio Guglielmini. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9788854002104.

San Francisco is one of the most photogenic cities in America, thanks to an urban geography all its own: the ocean, bays, golden hills, huge park areas, dramatic weather, and its own vernacular architecture. It is Americas most progressive metropolis and even the street life says, "This must be in San Francisco!" After New York, "the City by the Bay" is the favorite city of millions of American and foreign tourists. Few cities anywhere have succeeded so well in balancing their natural heritage with the built environment, an accomplishment that can be appreciated only through superb aerial photography such as this.San Franciscos architecture mirrors its history, from Presidios missions to its bridges, bungalows, Victorians, and skyscrapers. This city means to please the eye and-especially from high above-the view is always surprising.
