Afisha Life | Wycieczka piesza po wzgórzu Nob — kolejki linowe, luksusowe hotele, francusko-gotycka katedra

1

Muzeum kolejki linowej

Pojedziemy kolejką linową (nie do muzeum!) kolejką California Street Cable Car Line. Jeśli wszyscy zdążą na czas, zrobimy sobie kilka zdjęć z zaparkowanymi kolejkami linowymi. Każda przejażdżka kolejką linową kosztuje 8,00 USD, ale całodzienny karnet MUNI Mobile kosztuje tylko 13,00 USD (na nieograniczoną liczbę przejazdów MUNI w dowolnym miejscu w San Francisco). Przejazd do Nob Hill kolejką linową California Street Cable Car Line zajmuje około 15 minut, przejeżdżając przez dzielnicę finansową i Chinatown.

Dzielnica finansowa

Beaux Arts Architecture, najstarsza restauracja w San Francisco, Wells Fargo Bank, 555 w Kalifornii, i wiele więcej.

3

Chinatown

Grant Street to najstarsza ulica w San Francisco, chińskie latarnie, edwardiańskie budynki z ulepszeniami Pagody, stara katedra Najświętszej Marii Panny

Park Huntingtona

Świąteczne lampki na wszystkich drzewach są czerwone i zielone. Fontanna Żółwi jest kopią XVI-wiecznej Fontany delle Tartarughe znajdującej się na Piazza Matteo w rzymskiej dzielnicy Sant'Angelo. Architekt Giacomo Della Porta i rzeźbiarz Taddeo Landini zbudowali oryginał w latach 1580-1588. Replika została wykonana na początku XX wieku i podarowana Huntington Park przez spadkobierców Crockera w 1955 roku.

Katedra Łaski

Grace Cathedral jest trzecim co do wielkości kościołem episkopalnym w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Francuska architektura gotycka, drzwi Ghibertiego, malowidła ścienne o tematyce ekumenicznej i witraże wymagają dramatycznych lub zamyślonych wyrażeń. Sklepione sufity mogą przenieść Cię na drugą stronę globu. Dla mnie różne aspekty Katedry Łaski przypominają mi katedrę w Kolonii, katedrę Notre Dame de Paris i katedrę w Reims. Z niewielką pomocą mojego przyjaciela, archiwisty Michaela Lampena, miałem zaszczyt sfotografować wiele fascynujących miejsc w katedrze, w tym dzwonnicę, zakrystię i kolumbarium.

Budynek InterContinental Marka Hopkinsa

Góra znaku Nasza wycieczka kończy się na 19. piętrze hotelu InterContinental Mark Hopkins, „Top of the Mark” za napoje „bez gospodarza” i zdjęcia o zachodzie słońca. Wśród gości Mark Hopkins Hotel znaleźli się czołowi mężowie stanu, rodziny królewskie i celebryci, tacy jak Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson (który potrzebował osobistego szefa kuchni do przygotowywania wegetariańskich posiłków) i The Rolling Stones (którzy zajęli dla siebie całe dwa piętra i ich otoczenie). Chociaż kocham historię, to widok na Top of the Mark sprawia, że wracam, aby spróbować zrobić idealne zdjęcie o zachodzie słońca i wczesnej „niebieskiej godzinie”.

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.

8

Financial District

Beaux Arts Architecture, the oldest restaurant in San Francisco, Wells Fargo Bank, 555 California, much more.

9

Chinatown

Grant Street is the oldest street in San Francisco, Chinese lanterns, Edwardian buildings with Pagoda enhancements, Old Saint Mary's Cathedral

10

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.

11

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.

12

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".
