The magnificent Sentinel Building (also known as Columbus Tower) glows in ethereal green copper patina against the dark San Francisco skyline. This historic flatiron-style building, captured during a rainy evening, showcases its distinctive Victorian-era architecture with bay windows cascading down its eight stories. The building's copper-clad exterior is dramatically illuminated, creating a striking contrast with the modern city backdrop. At street level, the famous Cafe Zoetrope's red awnings add a warm splash of color, while wet streets reflect the ambient city lights in a kaleidoscope of reds, yellows, and blues. This North Beach landmark, built in 1907, stands as a testament to San Francisco's architectural heritage at the intersection of Columbus Avenue and Kearny Street.
