On the way to a customer's location, I had to drive north on Interstate 280 and exit at 6th St. This local used to be populated mainly by warehouses and a few office buildings. It has since gone through an improvement with the addition of the ballpark and construction of Mission Bay. Mission Bay is a complex that houses several research labs for UCSF. Mission Bay begins in the forground and extends to the right. You cant really see much from this shot. A great view of the skyline is uninhibited by any taller structures.
At a couple of times during the year, special events will be held in the city as they tour the US. For some events, tents like these get pitched in this open area to accommodate nomadic show. I believe that this if for the Cavalia show. From my estimation, its kind of like Cirque Du Soliel but with horses as the main attraction
