<p>Yesterday, 4:24 p.m.</p><p>I haven't been out shooting recently (too much going on) but yesterday I drove 4 blocks up our hill to snap a picture of some townhouses that are getting new siding.</p><p>I've always been fascinated by these townhomes. Built in 1978, each has approximately 2000 square feet inside (three bedrooms, two and a half baths), with six stories in the rear but just a single story facing the street up top (where the garage is). Actually, the lower three stories of the townhomes, in the rear, are purely foundation, not living space. Because slopes.</p><p>Unsurprisingly, the townhouses have killer views of the bay and all of downtown San Francisco. Yes, $1.5M in this part of town can get you a view... but not necessarily a yard you can sit in and have a picnic or a pitcher full of martinis.</p><p>Anyway, I think the scaffolding around the building is kind of cool. So I took a picture. </p><p><a href="/tags/photography/" rel="tag">#photography</a> <a href="/tags/newtopographics/" rel="tag">#NewTopographics</a></p>
