Sometimes I'm not the best reporter -- yesterday I don't think I mentioned that the Filbert Street Stairs climb Telegraph Hill -- it's where Coit Tower is located.

This isn't such a hot photo, but it's a view looking west. The street is Filbert, but the first block this side of the hill is so steep that the sidewalk is fashioned into stairs -- not nice ones with gardens as on the east side of Telegraph Hill, but convenient none the less.
Located just out of sight, behind those pine trees is Peter and Paul's Church

So, we went up and over Telegraph Hill. Now we are in Northbeach. The alleys sometimes remind me of canyons.

At about 8AM the doubler-decker tour busses start rolling. And even though it's summer, you may want to bring a heavy coat.

This is typical of the housing you'll find in Northbeach.

In my short 1/2 day in San Francisco (when I was 16), those houses are what charmed me the most. (We got lost in the fog, however, and my dad wasn't the type to take everything with a grain of salt, so not much else was charming at the time.)
Photograph #2 is really cool because it shows all the colors of the buildings. Love it! As to the building with the green glass, it looks really interesting, maybe like a miniature doll house with semi-precious stones stuck in it for decoration. Great series (and I thoroughly enjoyed the Filbert stairs series as well!)
