The Palace of Fine Arts is a building that's stands in the Marina District of San Francisco. The palace was built as an exhibition center for 1915, Pan Pacific Celebration and is one of the few buildings from the exhibition that is still standing today.
This is an infrared photograph of the iconic Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
The grand rotunda and classical columns of the Palace are prominently featured, showcasing its Beaux-Arts style.
The infrared technique transforms the surrounding foliage into ethereal, light-toned textures—often appearing white or silvery—creating a surreal contrast against the darker architectural elements.
A tranquil pond in the foreground mirrors the structure, adding depth and symmetry to the composition.
The overall mood is dreamlike and otherworldly, with the infrared palette lending a timeless, almost mystical quality to the scene.
