On The Job-Transamerica Pyramid

From the base of the building, its very hard to distinguish it from any other building in the area. Although, some die hard fans of the city will still be able to point out what this is from this closeup view.

Even as we crane our heads towards the sky, a repeating pattern appears amongst the windows the line the 4 sides of the structure. As we look upwards, most buildings begin to taper off as they progress ever higher.

Once you are far enough away, you can see the pyramid shape that gives it its name. The top is flanked by two "winglets" which accomodate the elevator system. This is one of the tallest buildings in the city at 850 ft and is an icon of the city's skyline.
