San Francisco. A few years ago I took some shots similar to this with a 2MP camera. Most of those files were lost or corrupted in a number of computer crashes, before I had back up drives (or a need for them). I saw a great image really similar to this on G+ a few years back and thought, "Hey, nice. Aw, man, I used to have something like this." The other photographer's image was in color with a yesteryear type warm filter effect, which was beautiful, but I was left wishing I still had my old shots to see what I could do with them. I'd thought I'd go b&w and really bring out the texture in the chain. We ended up at Fort Point for my birthday in 2012 (I'd never managed to go inside before). However my tripod was left behind in my car at home when we decided to take my husband's car at the last minute. I had to wing it hand-held and get whatever I could get. This is a three exposure hdr in a bit of wind. There was a little ghosting that needed cleaning up, but not too bad.
