File:San Francisco aerial summer.jpg
Looking west over San Francisco. Downtown is in the bottom center of picture next to the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. 

Some landmarks familiar to natives and visitors:

The Embarkadero is the street at the edge of the city offering access to its many docks. Central to the picture in the forground is the western terminus of the [[San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge]]. To its left, the prominant inlet is China Basin, with the home field of the [[San Francisco Giants]] [[baseball]] team at the water's edge. The right of the bridge, the tower at the water's edge near the first wide dock is the [[Ferry Building]], which sits at the foot of Market Street. The grid of streets east and south of Market (in the district called SOMA - South of Market Area) are parallel or perpendicular, while those north of Market are diagonal.
