Dangling Boat Slings

Dangling Boat Slings

Taken in November 1978.
Boat slings dangle at the edge of the Marina. As the fog bank recedes, you can just make out the Golden Gate Bridge in the loop of the sling on the left.

Hyde Street Slope

Hyde Street Slope

Taken in November 1978.
Tourists on cable cars love this slope on Hyde Street (between Chestnut and Bay). Going down they wonder if the car will break free and become a "runaway train;" going up they wonder if its groans and rattles will ever get them to the top.

I remember it as a pedestrian -- ten years before this picture was taken -- and the challenge of briskly striding to the top. Once I even ran it, and another time did a long stretch of it backwards. (I could do a lot of things in the 60s that I can't do now.)

A Prow and Whale Mural

A Prow and Whale Mural

Taken in November 1978.
I have no recollection of what or where this mural was, or what that "H" refers to. But I like the incongruity of the colorful arcs in that boarded-up window.
