SF Filbert steps (1278)
The Filbert Street steps, leading down from Coit Tower to Levi Plaza and the Embarcadero. They're a really quite wonderful and surprising green space surrounded by dense housing and tourist sites, but almost always very quiet. It's difficult to get a picture that does them justice.

Don Barrett (aka DBs… club has replied to ClintClint has replied to Don Barrett (aka DBs… clubI liked the look of San Francisco (though I have to agree with the Chicagoans that the skyscraper skyline, at least in 2007, wasn't terribly impressive.) There was something about the mood of the place, though, that didn't sit well with me. I think the biggest part of that was the particular sections of the city we wandered. (I don't know the neighborhoods, but it was mainly the places you see in the tourist brochures ... Lombard St., Telegraph Hill, et. al.). My guess is that these were the sections most likely to have been affected by the ongoing gentrification and commercialization you often talk about in your photos, making it all seem a bit bland. Of course, I was a lot less traveled then, I hadn't been out of Kentucky long, and I was less likely to know what to look for. If I went back and took some more time, I think I'd get a better feel for it.
More superficially, the dominant driving style seemed very Midwestern to me, and that sort of perception plays a larger role in my mind than is really justified. In general, I'm not really trouble by California traffic, but driving in San Francisco bugged me. It was too much like driving in Chicago.
