Cable cars - you can't describe San Francisco without mentioning one of them. Kelli talked, in a comment, about rice-A-roni the San Francisco treat. At one time, a long time ago, that ad was plastered all over the front of every cable car in town. However, no one would confess to ever eating the product, which we think was a mixture of rice and macaroni + seasonings.

Anyhow, the "treat" is gone, and the cable cars are still here.

For this one, I parked the car and walked to the turn-around. I wanted it to be just right.

Happy Holidays, everyone.

I love the focus on the bells and the way the rest of the image, including cable car and passengers, is more impressionistic. I'm really pleased that they still use cable cars in San Francisco. I'm quite fond of that mode of transport. They still have them in Melbourne - they're called trams here. We used to have them in Ballarat but a few decades back they got rid of them and ripped up all the tracks (politicians love to burn their bridges behind them). We still have one that runs beside a short section of the lake, for tourists, but they are no longer a part of our daily commuting.

Nice and soft. The cars seems really in the Christmas mood.

City sidewalks busy sidewalks .
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling
of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear

Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

Sweet shot!
