San Francisco*
by Denise

Mason Street Cable Car

Concrete roads, homes and telephone poles all add up to a concrete jungle
and an image of "The City" that is rarely depicted.
Yes, I was hanging off the Cable Car.

Great capture - I love the architecture of the houses, the view of the water, and the fog!

Reminds me of the old cop series, "Streets of San Francisco", Denise. Sure looks jungly (that a word?) too ;-)

Been there several times-Great City. Yes, hanging off cable cars..hearing.."Pull it in" is a Trip in itself. A nice shot showing a Classic SF view. Much more class than all the "New Skyscrapers" IMHO

Nice shot and great entry for the challenge Denise! I love all the poles and wires...really, I think they add a lot of interest to this image.

Tabrizi, try to rent Bullitt some time.
Best San Francisco/cop movie ever.
Cars flying over these streets.

For some reason, this shot remind me of 2 movies, The Rock & Hulk...

Great capture. It almost looks like a volcano in the background, spewing smoke? I have always wanted to visit SF.

Perfect choice for starting things off, Denise! Learned something new too, I always thought those old structures were concrete. Not that it matters for the theme but the road must be concrete, no?... and I'm still waiting to see Howie in Tarzan duds... or you in Jane duds, whoever's keener to show off... ;)

You are so funny!!! There aren't concrete telephone poles either ;-)) and for all I know the road isn't concrete. Will have to check with the resident expert when he arrives home!! The view was for you.

You know how much I love this view, Denise, but as a survivor of two separate apartment house fires in SF, I gotta correct you on one detail. The vast majority of houses in SF are wooden, not concrete. Safer in earthquakes but not in fires.
;))
