I was a little tired by this stage. ;)
Part one, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part 5 and the map.
Some people have a great view ...
I then went down Filbert st, which is a street and not a footpath. The potise must have legs of iron on this route.
Art-deco building just down from the tower on Montgomery st opposite Filbert st.
Not sure if this one is earthquake proof. Looks funky though.
This is one of the original buildings in the area dating to 1863.
Looking down Montgomery st towards downtown.
I was standing at the bit where the road stops and then continues on about 10 metres lower down. You can see the abutment in this photo at end of the road on the right.
The road was steep again just for a change. The scafford guys must have a lot of fun.
This street was block off because it was too steep and had a rather nice garden section with a winding path through it.
The other side of the street fell away towards the bay.
You may have noticed the little tower in the previous photo. It's the Transamerica Pyramid building.
The lower structure is quite amazing and obviously designed to be earthquake proof.
I was standing on a street corner and a trolley car went whizzing by. I think that they look a little bit like a cricket with the long antenna above them. ;)
There were some very cool old buildings along the street like the Russ building.
And the entrance to the Palace Hotel.
And this one with the roof top garden, was a stockbroking firm.
And the front of the Marine Firemans Union might have been done by Diego.
This is a fire alarm box on a street corner like a traffic light button.
And then I finally made it to the Caltrain after getting lost and asking directions and went home.
The End.
