Changing skyline of San Francisco 2004-2012

I often shoot photographs from this vantage point. The pier reaches far into the Bay and the views of the ship traffic and the skyline are glorious. The larger background image was shot during May 2004 using film and the 2012 image is just a few weeks old. I made this GIF to illustrate the rapid and continuing development in the SOMA and Rincon Hill neighborhoods!
