Looking up at Union Square

A festival or competition was being held on the beautiful August day we wandered through Union Square, San Francisco. It provided ample inspiration for photos although we didn't linger long because we wanted to see more of the city.

The statue pictured is in the center of the Square and, "commemorates Admiral Dewey's Spanish-American War victory at Manila Bay." Here's more and more on Union Square and the history behind it.

Department stores, Fifth Avenue and Tiffany & Co can be clearly seen in the background, it's the center of the shopping world in San Francisco!
