This is a more or less continuous view of a ride on the California Street cable car, from Hyde Street to Sansome, taken in December 2011.
Note the auto that passes around 1:30 – looks about the same vintage as the cable car!

A Perfect Day
“It’s such a perfect day, I’m glad I spent it with you…”
Vedanta Society Building
San Francisco has many wonderful buildings, but this is one of the wonderfulest.
The Painting Banker
I recently visited my local Citibank branch (California and Battery Sts., San Francisco) to open an account for the nascent illumos Foundation. The walls are charmingly decorated with huge murals of San Francisco. The banker I was working with said that these were painted decades ago by the original bank’s manager, who included a wry self-portrait, complete with cigar, in the detail photographed above. Presumably “DCS” is his initials. I’d love to get photos of the whole thing – they would make great decorative posters for those of us who love the city.
