Beauty is not in short supply in the San Francisco Bay area. However, the past may loom larger than you think in obvious ways. The past is often left untouched or in disrepair. Why? Let’s look at these places around the Bay area being reclaimed by Mother Nature.

Today, if you get up close you’ll see how the ocean, wind, and elements have hugely affected the remains of Sutro Baths.
