Vista of San Francisco's Skyline

One last flash of sunlight illuminates the city of San Francisco as the day comes to a close. From this vista in Ina Coolbirth park you can view many famous landmarks of San Francisco. On the left, famous Coit Tower (built in 1933) rises 210 feet to just touch the edge of the sunset from its perch atop Telegraph Hill. Telegraph Hill so named dates back to when it was used to send visible signals to dock workers as to the nature and type of ships arriving in San Francisco Bay. In the center you can see the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge. Just behind Yerba Buena Island you can spy the top of the new section of the Oakland side of the Bay Bridge currently under construction with one of its construction cranes protruding just above the foothills of Oakland. And if you look closely enough, you can just make out Mt. Diablo, one of the Bay Area's tallest peaks just peaking over the eastern most tower on the Bay Bridge. To the right, the sky line of downtown San Francisco is dominated by the famous Transamerica Tower and other financial district skyscrapers.
