 Van Ness Avenue, a predominantly north/south boulevard in my town, was the home of "automobile row" in the old days with palatial showrooms.
Now, although much of the automobile business has escaped to the nearby suburbs, it still is a premier center for car sales, as well as repairs and detailing.

This gives a detailed analysis of the area. Even if you are not especially interested in the content, do look at the front cover. It tells of a time that was opulent beyond belief. and of course, of an automobile industry that was "State of the Art".
The garage pictured here, still in use, but of course in different hands now, is my oddity/embellishment of the week. The paint is fresh and the decoration is original.
"Inverness Garage #1, 1565 Bush Street. Built 1923. Years of public garage use: 18. Integrity is high." - page 42
I may hang around this area for a while.

The building alone is very attractive, but the way the sky came out really accentuates that fact.

Actively "Pre-Owned" - never passively old or used.

There's a lot to see here. The old architecture juxtaposed against the new Infiniti sign, the reflections of the buildings across the street....a lot of great detail. I like this shot a lot.

I like your point of view. I think it makes the shot. Wonderful colors and crisp focus.

Gorgeous colors and yes, your detail and clarity are excellent, Alice. Beautiful building.

Those are certainly bold colors for a business even in SF. ;) I love the clarity of the reflections in the windows.
