A beautiful summer day in San Francisco. 

Alcatraz Island. 

A Chinese cargo ship just crossed under the Golden Gate Bridge, entered San Francisco Bay, and is heading to Oakland where the cargo will be unloaded. 

This building is located on Grant Avenue near Columbus Avenue. North Beach and Chinatown can both justifiably claim this location.
