[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It was a bright yet windy and cold day in San Fransisco. I had got down from a Greyhound out of LA and rather foolishly started the day with no warm clothes. I had shivered through a tour of the city, a ride in the Bay, a foot-long hot dog (which I first tried to eat through my nose as a result of couple of fast beers to ward of the chill) and a walk on the pier. I ended up before the Trans America building in the late afternoon. The wind had died down, a brisk walk had warmed me up, and, the Sun, conspiring with the opposite buildings, had turned the pyramid into an arrow.

No pp except a little contrast enhancement. Asahi Pentax Spotmatic II with a 28 mm.

Hi Salil,
A pretty interesting photo. The title makes sense. I like the contrast between dark blue sky and bright building.

It does look like an upward pointing arrow! Well deen. Nice composition and POV. Good one.

Very nice POV and framing of the buildings. I love the effect it gives. The play with light and shadows is excellent. Great job!
