After my post last Friday of the Balancing Upside Down Elephant, I decided to end this week with an unusual image. The Transamerica Building is an iconic part of the San Francisco skyline. There are thousands of images of the famous pyramid shaped building from every angle (okay, I admit to taking some of those more common shots). I also wanted to take an uncommon shot of the building and this is it. I have a little history with The Transamerica building. In the 1980′s I visited San Francisco for the first time for some business meetings that were held there. It was then that I fell in love with the city.
When I first looked at the image, my first thought was the perspective Spiderman would see if he tried to climb the building. I’m not sure why that popped into my head but it is probably because as a kid, I loved to collect and read comic books (baseball cards were a close second). I don’t know what happened to the comic books of my youth but I still have a fondness for them today.
Great perspective Len. The Spiderman story made me laugh!
A great title dude because it’s so true! The POV is perfect and I love all the patterns from the windows. Enjoy your weekend Len!
Wow, Len. What a stunning view, a vertigo shot. LOL
Love the pattern of the windows and overall architecture. Now where’s Spidey?
What a creative composition on such an iconic structure. Looks like an easy climb, though, with all those window ledges.
Excellent perspective on this icon!
WOW great perspective Len. Love the patterns.
Hey what ever, it works. Nice shot. I don’t think I could be spider man, id be sick!
Great perspective! It just dazzles the eye. I love the title, too.
Awesome POV! Love the patterns. This might look cool in B&W as well!
Great perspective and well framed.
That is such a great view! I shot the exact same photo when I was out there. It’s hard not to. Great site man!
Great photo. A very unusual perspective on this oft-photographed building.
