Transamerica Pyramid at Blue Hour - San Francisco Architecture Photography
The Transamerica Pyramid rises behind the green-copper Columbus Tower as San Francisco settles into blue hour, two of the city's most distinctive buildings stacked in a single view. The flatiron-shaped Columbus Tower dates to 1907, its copper cladding long since weathered to pale green; it has belonged to filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola for decades. Behind it, William Pereira's 260-meter Transamerica Pyramid, completed in 1972, held the title of the city's tallest building until 2018. The fading light flattens the sky to deep blue while the towers still hold their artificial light. A photograph of a century of San Francisco architecture caught in one frame.
