The May "Where in CA is This?” was of course the site of Candlestick Park, located in San Francisco's Hunters Point area. The stadium was originally the home of MLB's San Francisco Giants, who played there from 1960 until 1999, after which the Giants moved into Pacific Bell Park (since renamed Oracle Park) in 2000. It was also the home field of the NFL San Francisco 49ers from 1971 through 2013. The 49ers moved to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara for the 2014 season. The last event held at Candlestick was a concert by Paul McCartney in August 2014, and the demolition of the stadium was completed in September 2015. Photo provided by Keith Nofield.

 We had several winners: William Tuck, PLS of Sphere Surveying and Mapping, Inc. said "It took some searching on Google maps, but this month’s photo is overlooking the old Candle Stick Park site with the Hunters Point Gantry Crane in the background.” Joe Cash, LSIT, at DWR said "I recognized the gantry crane as a likely landmark. suspected Bay Area north shore looking South because of the ships. Did a google image search with no luck. Used Lense to specifically look for the Gantry and found it at Hunter's Point. From there I lined up the docks, field (I guess this was the site of a stadium for a mercenary sportsball team?)  and figured that the picture was taken from Bayview Park. Google Earth seems to have some photogrammetric weirdness going on and I can't get the exact location to line up... Suspect the picture was taken with a zoom lens and the Earth isn't set to 1:1 for elevations?” The Masked Mapper: "Candlestick Park, I mean used to be Candlestick Park. I used to go to niner games. Season Tickets with the family. We did some work in for the sand plant, Martin Marietta, to the north of there. I did not realize they had taken it down. They should build something else. So many great memories were made there.” And the last was Ventura County Surveyor Dan Walsh: "The large crane at Hunters Point in the bay area is in the background of the photo. It looks like it was taken from the direction of the old location of Candlestick Park or up on a hill behind where the Park was.”
