San Francisco -- the grand views

First off, I should reassure you that those birds WERE in the photo, just not originally that low in the sky. I used Photoshop's cool new Content-Aware Scaling tool, which allows for the compression of superfluous blank space whenever an image needs a bit of squeezing to make it less tall. The image has also been Posterized into a limited number of colors, and some other techniques were used--so to answer that often asked question; yes, there is a whole lot of Photoshopping going on in this image.

Bagdad-by-the-Bay, some call it. It has even been called "The City That Knows How". But oh, how many hearts have been left in San Francisco? So sad... Only San Francisco knows...

Oh, did I mention the fog? Our cool natural air-conditioning. Free (if you don't factor in the high cost of living here), and refreshing. Quite abundant.
