View on high of the original financial district in San Francisco.
The beautiful and elegant Russ Building - the art deco building with the black top to the right of center - was once the tallest building in San Francisco.
It is now dwarfed by dozens of monster skyscrapers to the north, east, and west. The area around Rincon Hill has sprouted buildings of 50 and 60 floors that are already occupied - and much taller towers are under construction.
