When my eyes fell upon these Cable Car tracks in San Francisco the other day, I immediately recognized an abstract picture. So here it is (taken at Powell and Market Streets).
And now, reluctantly, to the blah-blah for one of San Francisco's most popular tourist attractions ~
San Francisco's cable cars are unique in that they are the only street railway in which the cars do not operate under their own power. Instead, the cars are propelled mechanically, by "gripping" a continuously moving steel cable which runs in a conduit underneath a slot between the rails. The cable, in turn, is kept in motion by an engine in a centrally-located powerhouse.

Love your art. But, alas, I am one of those tourists who love the cable cars.
