Different sizes, styles, ages in one shot in San Francisco
Photo captured four totally different buildings-one an old brown church steeple, another a green and red Asian temple of sorts, another is the top half of triangle shape of the Transamerica building, and one is a tall, multi level office building.

Red-tailed hawk watching me on the 4th tee. So unusual to see a hawk on the ground without a 'catch' and up close without flying off (flew off later, didn't appear injured).
Photo at ground level of the side of a red-tail hawk, with its head turned to the camera. Hawk is standing in green grass. Background is water with reeds.
