On the ferry coming back from Angel Island, this is one of the views you get.

I really like it for several reasons. First of all, it is not a view you can get unless you are on a boat, but perhaps the best reason is the multitude of colors and detail that are visible. If you take a moment to look at those details, you’ll be amazed at how rich and colorful this wondeful city is. I love San Francisco, but rarely approach it by water.
