Market Street Cable Car - F Line

Market Street Cable Car - F Line, a photo by thetravelclef on Flickr.

San Francisco, California.

Stepping into a cable car takes you to a different era. Everything is wooden inside like an old living room. Seats are smaller. The driver uses actual bells rather than horns. Some riders are tourists but many are daily commuters as well. In short, cable cars provide reasonably-priced time machine experience (back to the future)! This photo was taken around noon so the sun feels a bit harsh, but I hope you enjoy the vibrant and warm sunlight in San Francisco (which, surprisingly, is extremely rare).

On that note, I have heard that Mark Twain said, "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." But apparently, he didn't, according to this website - www.snopes.com/quotes/twain.asp.
