The World of Color . . . in Black and White

While formatting the recent photos from this past week, I Photoshopped many of the color images into black and white.

 

 

 

A view of Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill, as seen from Lombard Street on Russian Hill.

The crooked Lombard Street, normally one of the most visited tourist destinations in San Francisco, is now silent and empty.

 

The distant Transamerica Pyramid, seen behind these Russian Hill rooftops.

During this pandemic, San Francisco's famous cable cars, and its equally famous historic F-Line trolley cars, have stopped operating. I recently walked through the Geneva Avenue trolley car barnyard and shot some photos. It was a rare opportunity to see so many of the old trolleys in one place at a time.

Here's a link to see all the different colored trolley cars, and learn more about their histories and origins.

The headdress to jar 521 is made up of pieces from the 1910 Millwright's Cottage that is located next to the 1905 Murphy Windmill at the southwest end of Golden Gate Park.
