August 4

The Cosmopolitan Hotel, also known as La Casa de Bandini

This building, one of the oldest in San Diego, recently re-reopened after an extensive renovations.
Personally I think a lot of the character and also architectural details were damaged or destroyed in the renovation.
You can see another similar photo taken in 1872 (when lenses were not so wide) of the building which began as a one story adobe here: Cosmopolitan Hotel

And Another Photo taken May 15 for this gallery below. Note the difference between 13mm and 18mm focal length with different lenses.





other sizes: small medium original auto
