This panorama was assembled from 8 different pictures and shows an overview over San Francisco taken from the end of the Van Ness Avenue, which forms an inlet in the bay where people are allowed to swim with a small beach/recreational area.
The original image was 15256×2237, so I had to resize the picture so it would be easily viewable on screen, click the image to view the larger size.
