Description
We were so happy to came to such a amazing and outstanding place like this, just because we walked to the golden gate bridge and investigated the neighborhoods over there.
I will upload more the next days from this gorgeous architecture of history
History:
Just after the 1906 Earthquake, S.F was in total ruins. So in order to reclaim its title of being the “Paris of the West” and a major metropolis, San Francisco put in its bid in 1910 to be the first of the century to host the 1915 World’s Fair in honor of the opening of the Panama Canal. It was designed by Bernard Maybeck, who took his inspiration from Roman and Greek architecture. It was one of only three buildings from the exposition not to be demolished. The exhibition hall, which originally housed Impressionist paintings during the exposition, is now home to the Exploratorium, a state of the art interactive science museum.
Wish all my friends a very wonderful sunday :-)

This is quite extraordinary! I love the Classical details and the way it simply looms like any actual temple should. Such obvious pride went into the craftsmanship evident here, and you captured it perfectly and from just the right POV. This is truly a gorgeous shot and I love the manner in which you've captured the colors and the light. Really superb work. I'll be commenting more, as time permits, but I simply had to say something about this shot! It's a favorite!

it looks very impressive and looks very much like something in the "Forum" in Rome
