Actually a very steep hill, which is why it has the switchbacks.
I’m surprised there are so few cars in the top view, if it’s a modern drone shot, because nowadays it’s always bumper to bumper.
In the 70s it was easy to drive down it without waiting in traffic, but from what I’ve heard, not any more.
In fact I knew a guy back then who broke his arm three times on different attempts to skateboard down it … I mean I knew an idiot. I told him I didn’t want to hear about it after the 2nd attempt but when you’re behind the counter in a store, you’re a captive audience.
Anyway, its popularity totally annoys the people in the multi-million dollar homes along the street. They wanted to make it a toll road except for residents, but I don’t think it happened.
I’ve been on it lots of times, in spite of having the same problem, and being very afraid of heights.
You kind of had to take all.out-of-town visitors for a ride down Lombard street… at least that part, which is really only one block long.
But it’s been many years.
….
I don’t think I’ve been down it since I started driving, at least I only remember being a passenger (I’m a late bloomer)… I think you get less motion sickness when you’re behind the wheel.
While I recall plenty of driving, later, on Lombard Street myself, I don’t even think about that block.
Once it comes down the hill, it widens. The northbound traffic turns west onto it, and it becomes the popular, busy thoroughfare to the Golden Gate bridge.
You could call it that…. but it’s actually an east/west street, with one way traffic, running downhill to the west.
So yeah, it looks like the cars are traveling upwards to the west, which would put the bottom of the hill at the top of the picture, which is backwards compared to the bottom two images, but compared to the usual map layout, all three are sideways 😄
I wonder how many hours were spent just growing and picking those peppers? Savor them, when you know what went into them. But watch out, they can burn their way right through you before you realize it!
I think it’s time to beam up the solution. Sorry I got distracted.
I love Basset Trek!
A beautiful job on the characters.
Wow… I just realized I marked ten differences. Oops.
Never mind…
The apparently non existent leg i marked under Uh-hooo-rooo’s desk. I think my tablet switched pictures on me when I was solving. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it
.
What a pretty lady! Culex pipiens, I suspect…
,
..
Now, that is the proper way to call “shotgun!”
Oh!
I didn’t know it was hiding.
I thought this was just what you buy when you live 30 miles from someplace like Podunk Iowa, and go to the store to pick up milk.
Little blue box.
I clicked on i and it took me to Flicker’s home page.
ok. thanks.
I didn’t even get to Flickr… just nada.
I got a link, but it took me to the same place as Happy…
,,,
In other words, “He’s a loony!”
Probably more than the $6 million dollar man at this rate, and he can’t even run 60 miles per hour.
Run?
Fun times at airport security.
Been there.
.
Got ten so far…
I recognize a few of those people. Are any of them even still alive? Time has a habit of catching up with all of us.
This photo was taken in 1943.
Anybody in it who was 25 then would be 107 now, and I’m pretty sure most were older… it doesn’t seem likely.
Wondering what they all have in common. And why the lady front row far right looks SO unhappy to be there.
I think she just doesn’t care much for publicity stuff.
Probably embarrassed to be the only lady in a pant suit…
Goodness no!
There was no such thing as a “pantsuit”, though we might call it that today, if both pieces are indeed the same material, which would be rare.
It took guts for a woman to appear at a function like this in slacks.
Her look was quite purposeful… including the heavy sandals with socks. She never liked Hollywood expectations of women.
And maybe she knew she’d be seated next to Louis B Mayer, the studio head.
Guy on the left bottom was Reservist long after the war.
Retired a full General!
I didn’t know that!
I can’t say how many I got cos it depends on how many of my guesses are correct.
I think this is a different part of the same picture we’ve had part of here before…
If I’m right, it’s the left side (this time) of a huge publicity shot of MGM’s stars, for the studio’s 20th anniversary.
Okay… I couldn’t find the one I thought I saved… But here’s another copy of the right side.
Aaannnd…. if you must know who everybody is…
and I confess to trying hard not to peek as I post this, cos I’m still trying to guess, though seeing a few names was inevitable….
Of course it’s bigger if you click it… Or open in another tab or window.
I GOT ONE!
Yay ! https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/svg/1f60a.svg
Ah! Chill Wills! (I kept on trying to call him Slim Pickens!) And that other one really was Desi Arnaz!

Um…. I’d posted all that…. WordPress says 5 hours earlier.
I’m surprised that no one mentioned the redhead in the middle.
No one really mentioned anybody, by name…. except for my supplying a name for the one person someone said looked disgruntled.
Oh… I guess I just mentioned Louis B Mayer, too.l
But there’s another redhead on the left side of the front row some people would say is more famous.
I’m betting that’s the one Happy is referring to — center of the first row in the original post…
Oh! Of course! Thanks… I didn’t even think of that!
Sorry Happy³.
I was thinking of the entire front row… But yes, you probably mean the redhead I said was arguably more famous than Greer Garson.
She’s in the middle of the front row when you’re only looking at the left side.
She’s a lot more famous, if you consider popularity on television, not just MGM movies.
And we know
They were already married, but not yet known on TV, and their pairing was not considered as acceptable as it should have been
Looks so flat in the overhead view!
Lombard Street in San Francisco.
Actually a very steep hill, which is why it has the switchbacks.

My brother took my sister along that road several years ago when she visited him. She wasn’t impressed as she has motion sickness…..

The upper picture is upside down I think…

Proof dinosaurs are descended from birds!
Cute.
The bird wouldn’t be surprised to see this… It’s just how he always pictures himself.
,,
,.
WATCH OUT! There are sharks about!
Some of them are just Boston terriers though…
I thought the terrier should know about the previous photo!
That’s a good way to cool off.
on set, ‘I love Lucy’ – about 1955
I remember that episode!
I remember the classic “mirror image” bit between Lucy and Harpo.
Oh yeah! Me too.

Wanna buy a pixel?
I wonder how many hours were spent just growing and picking those peppers? Savor them, when you know what went into them. But watch out, they can burn their way right through you before you realize it!
…,
.
Good call.
Like the little pause, where everyone is processing what just happened.
Even the pup.
This didn’t make sense till I searched it.
It’s a composite photo… contemporary actress Liv Tyler superimposed on the right, imitating the iconic pose of James Dean.
.,.,
I wanna know what the bird thinks it’s doing. Presumably the tigers are wondering the same thing.
Probably trying to distract the tigers away from its nest.. Playing a game of cat and…bird…?
Feeling pretty confident that I’ve found all ten. Still awaiting the official verdict.
Ten?
Eh, nine … ten. Easy come, easy go. Regardless, I got ’em all. Not a weekly occurrence, I assure you.
Hey I found ten. You can too, if you want…
As long as you don’t mind making one up.
Just for you, I guess, Liverlips, so far…
I think it’s time to beam up the solution. Sorry I got distracted.
I love Basset Trek!

Here’s what I found ….
I got the same.
Yup.
Eight.
Me too
thank you
You’re quite welcome.
I got four on my phone. I’m kinda happy with that.
I’m happy you took the time
.
Needs some regal music.
to go with that regal pose
Indeed.
I’m handsome and I know it!
He’s majestic!
The squid went down fighting…
That made my day! I’m a big fan of Star Trek, and an even bigger fan of basset hounds!!
then, just for you , I’ll run our ‘Basset trek’ 2 episode series next week (M & W)
thanks!
Hey!!!
Cool!
Yay!
just gonna have to see it in the first comment, unfortunately
None of your animations are working at all on top now?
You have so many great animated strips!
Whatever works!
The only place i have ever experienced warm fog is the Oregon coast.
This place continues to amaze me. Even after a decade.
A decade already? I remember you setting out on the move to look after your Mom!
That was 2013.
