San Francisco Bay

Killion's Coast series is an ongoing work, reproduced in its 2014 form in his book "California's Wild Edge." Many earlier images appear in the various editions of Tom's book, "The Coast of California". Killion's extensive archive of Coastal Prints has been divided geographically into four sections. This section comprises Killion's many images of San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate and its environs. Other prints depicting the Bay can be found on the Mt. Tamalpais page.
