I seldom have a reason to drive into The City anymore but this may motivate me to do so.

Just announced: Opening this coming weekend at the #TransamericaPyramid is a free exhibit of the contents of a #TimeCapsule that was buried at the base of the building when it was built in 1972.

Here's an article that was published in Sep 2024 describing the discovery of the time capsule in June 2024:

A snapshot of San Francisco's past and present: the iconic Transamerica Pyramid, the modern Salesforce Tower, and the enduring cable car tracks of North Beach. 🌉✨

A sunny street view in North Beach, San Francisco, looking towards downtown. The iconic Transamerica Pyramid and Salesforce Tower rise prominently in the background against a clear blue sky. In the foreground, cable car tracks curve along the street while Victorian-style buildings line both sides, including characteristic bay windows and mixed-use structures in various colors like yellow and green. A street sign for Taylor Street is visible, and pedestrians walk along the sidewalks. Parked cars line both sides of the sloping street, typical of San Francisco's hilly terrain. The scene captures the blend of historic and modern architecture that defines San Francisco's cityscape.

A black-and-white photograph of a bus shelter in a park-like setting. The shelter features an illuminated advertisement reading “HIRE AN AI BDR” with a portrait of a woman. A person wearing a jacket and carrying a bag walks under the shelter, while a trash can and trees frame the scene. In the background, benches, foliage, and a few other people are visible, adding depth and a sense of quiet urban life. The composition highlights the contrast between modern technology and the natural surroundings.

A black-and-white photograph capturing an urban street scene in San Francisco. The iconic Transamerica Pyramid stands prominently in the background, surrounded by other skyscrapers. The foreground features a sloped street lined with parked cars, including a black Acura SUV, and various storefronts with signs, including a Nepali-Indian grocery and a dim sum restaurant. Street signs and banners are visible, adding layers of urban detail. The composition leads the eye from the street level upward to the towering skyline, creating a sense of depth and perspective.

A black-and-white photograph of a street pole displaying two signs. The top sign reads “Chinatown Park & Ride” in bold text, with additional Chinese characters and “Weekend Shuttle Stop” written below. The lower sign is a San Francisco Muni bus stop sign for Route 1, indicating service to the Richmond District. The sign is heavily tagged with graffiti, partially obscuring some text. In the background, urban buildings and partial views of a YMCA and trees are visible, adding depth to the scene.

A black-and-white photo of an underpass featuring the word “CHINATOWN” painted boldly on the wall in block letters. The mural includes Chinese characters and an artistic depiction of a traditional lantern on the right side. The lighting comes from evenly spaced wall-mounted lamps, casting soft glows that highlight the textured surface of the underpass ceiling and walls. The composition emphasizes symmetry and urban minimalism.

There will be a full moon tonight! Still plenty of time to plan your shot!

This is the full moon rising over San Francisco, seen from Ghirardelli Square.

a color outdoor photograph. the full moon rises behind the skyline of san francisco. the sky is dark blue, after sundown. the moon is pale yellow, and the upper portion of it is behind a low cloud. some lit windows in the skyscrapers show offices and workers. the headlights of cars reflect in a small patch of water in the immediate foreground. there are no animals in this picture.

The beacon at the very top—and the entire spire—are going to look very different. We took a terrifying trip all the way up.

Close-up view of a pillar of the Golden Gate Bridge. A view on the Transamerica Pyramid is lined up through one of the openings. Blue hour.

Transamerica Pyramid glow-up. The sunlight was reflecting off the top just right. 😍

I can't wait to see the results of TransAmerica Pyramid's $400,000,000 Shvo spa treatment.

In the foreground is a wooden fence painted white with a black silhouette of the TransAmerica Pyramid. Beyond the fence is an angled view of the TransAmerica Pyramid. Two trees frame the scene.

This is the Transamerica Pyramid. Nobody but bankers ever loved the building or its name. The area around it has always been marginal and untamable, all concrete and bollards, given the way it breaks up streets and concentrates wind. Don't let anyone tell you this area's gone to shit. It was never good. I stood here a long time to get a shot without a lot of fake car traffic, because of course nobody's left here. #TheRealSF #TransamericaPyramid

A view southeast along Columbus Avenue toward the Transamerica Pyramid, on a typically sunny San Francisco day.

San Francisco looked like it had a greyscale filter applied to it this morning.
