Columbus Tower
The Sentinal Building, with its copper-clad windows aged to a pastel green, is one of the few examples of "flatiron" construction remaining in San Francisco. Construction began before the 1906 earthquake, but the building was not completed until 1907. The infamous political boss Abe Ruef had offices on the top floor. ...
In its early years, The Sentenal Building was the home of "Caesar's," an establishment which is credited with creating the salad of the same name. The restaurant was closed during prohibition for violations of the 18th amendment.
Film director Francis Ford Coppola bought and restored the building in the early 1970s, and it is now home to his American Zoetrope Studios. The ground floor is occupied by the new (1999) Cafe Niebaum-Coppola, a bistro and wine shop satellite of the Niebaum-Coppola Estate Winery in the Napa Valley.

My sky photos get a white sky very often. I love the blue ones! Is it only overexposure? Thanks for your help.
Overexposure can have a lot to do with it. A smaller aperture and higher speed might result in less blown-out colors. If you're using a film camera, you can experiment with different brands of film (I've found FujiFilm to have excellent color reproduction.)
A reminder that the majority of pictures on this site were taken by others. As for this photo, it was taken by creativity+, who states on the photo's page that it was taken with a film camera. Not a lot of additional information is available on his exposure or development technique, though it can't hurt to ask him.
Thanks a lot! I'll give it a try!
