Tall buildings soar into foggy sky in the financial district of San Francisco, California.

I'll keep the commentary short on this one - it is part of a series that already includes the commentary, and today I prefer not to write a lot. The photograph was made on a San Francisco walk that eventually took me across a short section of the Embarcadero and then up into the area just north of the financial district. From there I walked into that district and focused on photographing the tall buildings found there, looking for odd and interesting juxtapositions and thinking about how I could use the weather conditions - which included high clouds, sprinkles of rain, and ocean fog sliding in over the City and obscuring the tops of the buildings.
