Lombard Street ~ part of my trip in SFO



Lombard Street is located in the Russian Hill district, its known as " the crookedest street in the world" !! The steep, hilly street was created with sharp curves to switchback down the one-way hill past beautiful Victorian mansions. The street is paved with bricks and is an amazing site to see as demonstrated by the photos below. The street zigzags around beautiful flowers and shrubs and offers a nice view of the day ~ there are also stairways on either side of the street for pedestrians... and the descent begins at Hyde Street ~
when you are at the top of the hill, you can catch your breath and enjoy the view and the
people-watching~ all of that was amazing for me !

its really cool and I think when you see that you must have the same feeling with me !!
