Cable Car on Hyde Street 2
8x10 original oil painting
SOLD
My mom and sister were visiting recently and we made a trip to San Francisco to ride a cable car. It's a very popular attraction for tourists and since it was a beautiful day, the lines were long.
When the cable car was first introduced in San Francisco in 1873, it was state-of-the-art public transportation. Through the early 20th century, the system expanded until buses were introduced and support for the cable car system waned. The cable cars were almost shut down in 1947.
This composition shows the Powell-Hyde line with its views from Hyde Street, with the San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz in the background. The line, one of three still in service, begins at the Powell-Market turntable and runs over Nob and Russian hills before ending at Aquatic Park near Ghiradelli Square. It's still worth the price of admission just for the view, even if you really don't have anywhere to go.

Love this San Francisco scene, you've captured it perfectly! Kit
