The photograph was sort of an accident, and almost never happened.  We were in San Francisco for the Google Plus Conference for Photographers, and had arrived a few days early to see a little bit of the city.  I was hoping to get a good sunset shot of the Golden Gate bridge but the light just wasn’t great that night.   On the way to the beach however, we passed the Palace of Fine Art.  The building is a fascinating structure, that looks like it belongs in Rome or Paris.  The architecture is very European, and was built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition.  The pond in front adds a nice reflection, and at night it’s stunning once it’s all lit up.
