      I was impressed when I saw it in person, but always strikes me as a vertical wall!!!

      love this place -- it looks spectacular with a long focal length -- and the almost monochrome just intensifies the forms.

      wonderful.

      Thanks everyone for your comments, this is the California Street cable car Line, not the Hyde or Mason lines that most visitors to SF ride. The California Line is used mostly by locals going between the downtown Embarcadero and Van Ness. Photo was indeed inspired by Todd Walker's similar image, camera used for this shot was a Canon G9.

      Impresionante.

      you're kidding? its really that steep!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am about to throw sitting here.

    40. lindamccraven (51 months ago | reply)

      no way. yes. back again. i can't stop looking at it. its weird. too many people have bad brakes for a road to be this steep. and when you get too the top it looks like a nightmare, as if you just fall over the edge!

      This shot makes me think of a water slide for cars, the best and last slip and slide of your life.
