Photographer's Note
Between 1849 and 1915 about 48'000 houses where built in San Francisco in the victorian and edwardian style. The most famous of them are the row of brightly painted houses on the edge of Alamo square, a quiet little local park. They where built between 1892 and 1896 and appear quite often in the media. With the city behind them they form an attractive combination that attracts many a photographer to this otherwise quite part of town. Taking a bus from downtown to the wast expanse of the Golden Gate Park, one can easily stop at Alamo square for bit, as the bus passes just in front of the park.

I hope you enjoyed San Francisco -- it is one of my favorite cities. It is one of the few cities in the US that retains some unique culture (New Orleans is another), and (like New Orleans) this is a city to EAT your way across; LOTS of great restaurants.

Hi Daniel,
Are you trying to steal more of my pictures?? :) What a classic view this is, and no matter how many times it's seen, it's just as impressive! :) Alamo Square certainly offers one of the best places to look out over the city, especially with these well known and very attractive row of houses as a starting point. Guess I'll have to wait a while longer before I decide to post mine so that I don't look like a copycat! :) Beautiful, bright, detailed and great depth. Thanks for sharing this timeless viewpoint. Have a great day ahead.
All the best,
Jason

hi Daniel,
This is a very beautiful urban scene, there are not many places I know of where you can have such a contrast of design. The houses make a fascinating foreground, and the cityscape itself is of course breath taking. Beautiful colors and light, this is like the soul of San Francisco!
All the best

Of our US cities, SF is unique in home vies like this. Wonderful. What is special is that each is well kept. Clean. A pleasure to walk along the walkways and enjoy. I have walked this street, and others nearby. There is happy mood here. Well done !

Hi Daniel,
in this efficient framing we can admire the wonderful modern architecture of SF, and its contrast with these beautiful Victorian houses in foreground.
A good luminosity and natural colors complete your nice composition.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Daniel,
I love the view, I like always all the classic views therefore I have it as well in my collection, as simple as it seems to be it is hard to photograph it as the square in the foreground is always with some sort of construction and cars etc but I see you cut close to avoid it, you have also taken few steps back to ensure the better panorama behind, Just the light was not the best , quite harsh but still the result is very pretty and that is a view everyone wants to have in the collection :)
