A woman named Penelope stands smiling on the circular observation level of Coit Tower in San Francisco, holding a freshly pressed penny souvenir. She wears a dark North Face jacket and sunglasses, and carries a camera tripod over her shoulder. Behind her is a blue pressed penny souvenir machine, and through the arched windows the San Francisco Bay is clearly visible, with what appears to be Alcatraz Island in the distance. The photo was taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and wide-angle lens, giving a slightly underexposed but atmospheric feel to the interior space. Other tourists can be seen in the background looking out over the bay.
