Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK From the softly glowing morning fog rolling past the Golden Gate Bridge to the crisp twinkle of lights of the skyscrapers at night, one of the greatest joys of living in or visiting San Francisco is taking in the gorgeous shifts of light. We love to watch as the sky changes colors over the cityscape, plays against buildings, and sends shadows across the parks all throughout the city. These photos celebrate this light from the Pacific to the Bay, as it shines on our world-famous monuments and illuminates the diverse neighborhoods of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. MEET THE AUTHOR Nicole Bemboom is a San Francisco based writer.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK San Francisco has an incredible history, from the Gold Rush to the development of buildings along the grid to the World’s Fair. Sometimes the bright light during the day reminds us of sepia, faded polaroids, and of all the things that have passed. Buy a copy to keep reading!
