A Historic Stay in San Francisco

A time-lapse of the San Francisco skyline transitioning from day to night. The prominent Salesforce Tower and dense skyscrapers stand against a clear blue sky, with the bay in the distance. The scene shifts to sunset, casting golden light and long shadows across the buildings. Night falls, and the city illuminates with thousands of glowing windows, streetlights, and a glowing blue tip on the Salesforce Tower against the dark sky.
