Say what you will about the awful and screeching, French fry-stealing seagulls that swarm above San Francisco — they have one of the best views of any creature on earth.
The city is filled with world-class architecture and the rugged beauty of the Pacific Coast, but its 7-by-7 mile immensity makes it difficult to take in all at once. A coffee table-ready book publishing May 13 (preorders available now) intends to open a window on that big picture. “Above & Across San Francisco” features photography shot from high up — from drones, helicopters, hills and observation decks — revealing new angles of historic neighborhoods, the fog-shrouded coastline and iconic landmarks like Coit Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge (Trope Publishing Co., $45).
Diane Bentley Raymond is one of the book’s chief photographers and actually had to do battle with those seabirds while out shooting with her drone. A photographer living in Nob Hill, she says they don’t seem to enjoy whirring machines entering their food-filled territory in Fisherman’s Wharf.
“Those seagulls really sometimes get more interested than you’d like,” says Raymond. “They come check it out, and all of a sudden, you feel like you’re being circled and are like, ‘My God, are they going to attack it?’”
