Captured with the Rodenstock 138mm/6.5 HR Digaron-SW lens (@ f/7.1), Phase One IQ4-150 back (@ ISO 50, 1/125 sec), Cambo WRS 1250 camera. Stitched panorama of two images, shifted left and right +/- about 18mm.
This view reminded me of Malvina Reynolds's famous 1962 song (though she was inspired by another San Francisco neighborhood - Daly City). If you look closely, the houses don't quite "all look just the same", but somehow, on the hillside there's more uniformity than there is up close.
@mattblaze@federate.social I used to sing that in lower school where I grew up in London, and it was only after I moved to SF decades later that someone told me it was a song about Daly City. I think I share much the same sentiment as Reynolds. Decades later I have this view from my window.
(Also, this photo stood out because it looks like it's taken from neighborhood)
@jripley @mattblaze same, I did a double take because not many pictures of the city I see on here look they could have been taken from OMI 😂
@RainofTerra @jripley OMI?

@RainofTerra@terra.incognita.net @jripley@mastodon.social ah, thanks. I had never heard that nomenclature.
