Pacific Heights Stairwalk

|
| "Stairwalk Walks in San Francisco" by Adah Bakalinsky is a wonderful guide book. Yes, I've lived in the City for several years & I kinda knew there were stairs around but I hadn't realized how many beautiful stairwalks there are in the City. This book is a great guide.
Today's pictures are from Walk #7 around Pacific Heights. First is a very steep walkway. There are stairs over on the right side (out of the picture frame). Still, this isn't a hill I'd like to skateboard down. |

Next were these hanging walkways. One seems to be a fire escape, added on after the building was constructed. The second is a walkway between two buildings. Neither looks like they are all that well attached to the main structures. |
| I don't know what this building is (next door to the Italian consulate) but I found the brickwork & heavy wooden door fascinating. | |

These buildings were beautiful with the sunset light striking them.
Next is a park, all in terraces 'cause it's too steep to be anything but. |

This apartment building stood alone. It really doesn't fit.
Next shot is a city view, with Bernal Hill (my home) vaguely visible in the middle back. |

What's with this tree over hanging the sidewalk? Granted, it's a very intesting tree bit also blocks a good portion of the sidewalk.
The next bit is a very twisty street, not something I'd want to drive on a regular basis. |
