Visite à pied de Nob Hill - Téléphériques, hôtels de luxe, cathédrale franco-gothique

Aperçu
When Robert Louis Stevenson visited San Francisco in 1879, he declared, "Nob Hill, the Hill of Palaces, must certainly be counted the best part of San Francisco. It is here that millionaires gathered together, vying with each other in display". My Nob Hill tour is a 2-hour walking photo-shoot tour that starts with a Cable Car ride and a visit to a French Gothic Cathedral and ends at the Top of the Mark on the 19th floor of the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel for photographs and beverages at sunset.

The eclectic history of Nob Hill includes:
* The Gold Rush (not the San Francisco 49r cheerleaders)
* The Silver Bonanza (not including Ben Cartwright, Ben, Hoss or Little Joe)
* The Transcontinental Railroad
* The 1906 Earthquake and Fire, and
* A spectacular French-Gothic design Episcopal Cathedral that took nearly 40 years to build.

The opportunities for photography are endless on Nob Hill!

À quoi s'attendre
1
Cable Car Museum
We'll ride a cable car (not go to the museum!) on the California Street Cable Car Line. If everyone is on time we'll take some photos with parked cable cars. Each cable car ride is $8.00 but a MUNI Mobile all-day pass is only $13.00 (for unlimited MUNI rides anywhere in San Francisco). The ride up to Nob Hill on the California Street Cable Car Line takes about 15 minutes passing through the Financial District and Chinatown.
2
Financial District
Beaux Arts Architecture, the oldest restaurant in San Francisco, Wells Fargo Bank, 555 California, much more.
3
Chinatown
Grant Street is the oldest street in San Francisco, Chinese lanterns, Edwardian buildings with Pagoda enhancements, Old Saint Mary's Cathedral
4
Huntington Park
The holiday lights on all the trees are red and green. The Fountain of the Turtles is a copy of 16th century Fontana delle Tartarughe located in Piazza Matteo in the Sant'Angelo district of Rome. Architect Giacomo Della Porta and sculptor Taddeo Landini built the original between 1580 and 1588. The replica was made in the early 1900s and donated to Huntington Park by the Crocker heirs in 1955.
5
Grace Cathedral
Grace Cathedral is the 3rd largest Episcopal Church in the United States. The French Gothic Architecture, Ghiberti Doors, ecumenically themed murals and stained-glass windows call for dramatic or pensive expressions. The vaulted ceilings may transport you to another side of the globe. For myself, different aspects of Grace Cathedral remind me of the Cologne Cathedral, Notre Dame de Paris and Reims Cathedral. With a little help from my friend, Archivist Michael Lampen, I’ve had the privilege of photographing a number of fascinating areas in the Cathedral including the Bell Tower, the sacristy and the Columbarium.
6
The InterContinental Mark Hopkins building
Top of the Mark Our tour ends on the 19th floor of the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel, “Top of the Mark” for "no host" beverages and photos at sunset. The Mark Hopkins Hotel guests have included leading statesmen, royalty, and celebrities, such as, Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson (who required a personal chef to prepare his vegetarian meals) and The Rolling Stones (who took two entire floors for themselves and their entourage). As much as I love history, it’s the view at Top of the Mark that keeps me coming back to try to get the perfect photo at sundown and early “blue hour".
7
Musée du téléphérique
Nous prendrons un téléphérique (pas aller au musée !) sur la California Street Cable Car Line. Si tout le monde est à l'heure, nous prendrons des photos avec les téléphériques garés. Chaque trajet en téléphérique coûte 8,00 $, mais un laissez-passer MUNI Mobile pour une journée ne coûte que 13,00 $ (pour des trajets MUNI illimités partout à San Francisco). Le trajet jusqu'à Nob Hill sur la ligne de téléphérique de California Street prend environ 15 minutes en passant par le quartier financier et Chinatown.
8
Quartier financier
Beaux Arts Architecture, le plus ancien restaurant de San Francisco, Wells Fargo Bank, 555 Californie, bien plus encore.
9
quartier chinois
Grant Street est la plus ancienne rue de San Francisco, des lanternes chinoises, des bâtiments édouardiens avec des améliorations de la pagode, l'ancienne cathédrale Saint Mary's
10
Parc Huntington
Les lumières de Noël sur tous les arbres sont rouges et vertes. La Fontaine des Tortues est une copie de la Fontana delle Tartarughe du XVIe siècle située sur la Piazza Matteo dans le quartier Sant'Angelo de Rome. L'architecte Giacomo Della Porta et le sculpteur Taddeo Landini ont construit l'original entre 1580 et 1588. La réplique a été réalisée au début des années 1900 et offerte à Huntington Park par les héritiers Crocker en 1955.
11
Cathédrale de Grâce
Grace Cathedral est la 3e plus grande église épiscopale des États-Unis. L'architecture gothique française, les portes Ghiberti, les peintures murales à thème œcuménique et les vitraux appellent des expressions dramatiques ou pensives. Les plafonds voûtés peuvent vous transporter d'un autre côté du globe. Pour ma part, différents aspects de Grace Cathedral me rappellent la cathédrale de Cologne, Notre Dame de Paris et la cathédrale de Reims. Avec un peu d'aide de mon ami, l'archiviste Michael Lampen, j'ai eu le privilège de photographier un certain nombre de zones fascinantes de la cathédrale, notamment le clocher, la sacristie et le columbarium.

Le bâtiment InterContinental Mark Hopkins
Haut de la page Notre visite se termine au 19ème étage de l'hôtel InterContinental Mark Hopkins, "Top of the Mark" pour les boissons et les photos "sans hôte" au coucher du soleil. Les clients de l'hôtel Mark Hopkins ont inclus des hommes d'État, des membres de la royauté et des célébrités de premier plan, tels que Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson (qui avait besoin d'un chef personnel pour préparer ses repas végétariens) et les Rolling Stones (qui ont pris deux étages entiers pour eux-mêmes et leur entourage). Même si j'aime l'histoire, c'est la vue à Top of the Mark qui me fait revenir pour essayer d'obtenir la photo parfaite au coucher du soleil et au début de "l'heure bleue".
