San Francisco / History / Time / Place: "Barbary Coast was the haunt of the low and vile of every kind. The petty thief, the house burglar, the tramp, the whoremonger, lewd women, cut-throats and murderers, all are found there. Dance-houses and concert saloons, where bleary-eyed men and faded women drink vile liquor, smoke offensive tobacco, engage in vulgar conduct, sing obscene songs, and say and do everything to heap upon themselves more degradation, unrest and misery."

City Of Cupertino. Art in the Heart of the City: an example of Roger Berry's work…

What is the color temperature? Don't know. The picture is in San Francisco, CA, Wednesday, June 2, 2004, 1:30pm. Posted by Hello
