Original - Fort Mason, also known as San Francisco Port of Embarkation, US Army, in San Francisco, California is a former United States Army post located in the northern Marina District, alongside San Francisco Bay. Fort Mason served as an Army post for more than 100 years, initially as a coastal defence site and subsequently as a military port facility.

• Comment Sorry to be late to the party, but it has a fairly substantial tilt. Hopefully you can fix it. Love the person front left righting the boat. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:25, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. I've just re-checked the image with the grid, and all verticla look very much vertical. Maybe it's looking being tilted is an illusion?--Mbz1 (talk) 10:46, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Looks straight to me. The waterline in front of the fort creates a slight illusion of a tilt. Mila, how far does the fort go? Is that smaller building at far right part of the fort still? If not it's possibly unnecessarily wide at both sides? --jjron (talk) 07:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, John. I do not think the building at the far right is a part of Fort Mason. I did the image the way I did to show the surroundings of the Fort. I'll make another panorama from a different set of the images and add it is as an alternative.--Mbz1 (talk) 13:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

• Support either. I'd actually probably go a bit in these between in terms of the crop, but either way it's probably about as good a shot of this as you'd get. --jjron (talk) 05:59, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
• Support original Context is good, and that stunning wave on the far right really makes the image. The alt is nice too, but not as nice. Shoemaker's Holiday ^{Over 210 FCs served} 10:17, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
• Support original as it has a more extended view than the alternative. ZooFari 01:59, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
