    The photo must be around 8 years old.

    Fun fact: on the top left corner is a partial segment of the old Bay Bridge that was damaged during the Loma Prieta 1989 earthquake. They built a whole new span (the white section next to it). To get rid of the old concrete underwater pylons, they blew them all up underwater. Here’s a video of the implosion of the last two:

    Does anyone know what the small half complete bridge on the left is?

      I think it’s the original eastern span, midway through being demolished after the present one was finished in 2013

        Indeed, this photos pretty old. Haven’t seen the bay that blue in a looooooong time. It’s more of a dirty brown all the time now

      That would be Yerba Buena/Treasure Island. It has a crazy history.

      Had the exact same thought. My visit to san fran was hilarious, because looking across the bay, you could see the sunshine on the north side, while the south was blanketed in light mist and fog. Our brief visit to the north side to see the muir woods was the exact opposite: sitting in sunshine while looking at a dreary, shrouded place across the water.

      I looked it up on google earth and the perspective is very distorted. The shot is probably 8 times as long as it is wide
