...Five Golden Rings !

Posted by Stephen Phillips (San Francisco, United States) on 29 December 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

The actual title of this image is 'From the Top'

Holiday lights hanging from the ceiling of the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco.

This is my last Christmas posting for this season. A couple of special images over the New Year's celebration period - and then I'll begin to fulfill my promise to post some San Francisco images.

It's like a rain of lights, Stephen. Good shot.
I'm enjoying the Christmas posts and I will enjoy your SF images (I was there 20 years ago, too much)

this is TRULY glorious Stephen!!! color, detail and composition are truly superb!! and strangely i was just here for desert and a night cap on Christmas Day!! strange -- during our 11 mile walk through the city i thought of you, and wondered if we might cross paths by serendipity!! looks like we 'almost' did!!! :)
