California and Powell

Motivated by my curiosity to discover more of the vibrant essence of my newly adopted neighborhood near downtown San Francisco, I ventured into the financial district. Among the bustling streets, California Street swiftly claimed a special place in my heart, thanks to its awe-inspiring hilltop vantage points that offered breathtaking views of the Bay Bridge in the distance.

In this image, my intention was to capture the sensation of a refreshing ocean breeze on a warm summer day. Despite the sight of closed and boarded-up buildings within the downtown area, the city’s distinctive charm remained intact, drawing me in with its irresistible allure.
