San Francisco-Treasure Island

The view across the Bay waters is that ever-so-wonderful "City By The Bay"

Add the Holiday Season, at night, and you have the added visual pleasure of the Embarcadero Center buildings dressed up with thousands of lights as giant Christmas Presents.

Add the clear air after the high winds of the past two days, and you have a crystal-clear - and fog-free! - view from Treasure Island.

Lower-left is the heart of the Bay waterfront: the Ferry Building - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Ferry_Building - which had been the hub of a vast network of ferries serving the entire Bay Area and Delta during the first part of the 20th century commuters and travelers.
