#404 — This is a scenic picture taken of Lombard
Street
which is located in downtown San Francisco, California. Lombard
Street
is a major east to west
street
that crosses the entire city of San Francisco. It is best known for one block on Russian Hill between Hyde and Leavenworth
Street
s, with eight sharp turns (or switchbacks) that have earned the
street
the distinction of being the most crooked (winding)
street
in the United States. One of San Francisco's car lines stops at the top of this block. The crooked section of the
street
is reserved for one way traffic traveling east (downhill), and is paved with bricks. The section was built in 1923 to accommodate the steepness of the slope of the hill. The road is surrounded with beautiful shrubs and flowers and stunning bay views that draw in tourists day after day. From the top of the hill you will see amazing views of the bay such as Telegraph Hill and North Beach.
