Beautiful architecture. I love SF and Napa.
I enjoyed visiting there, especially the Painted Ladies row of houses. I like how dramatic everything looked in black and white.
Yes, you’re right. That’s what they’re called: Painted Ladies. I wonder why they’re called that. Something about it showed up on my google feed but I skipped over it.
Black and white has a mysterious air about it in photos. I enjoy it, but both kiddos think they’re too dark and gloomy. Too young I guess.
They were not around for the black and white era but it was really even before your time too as you’re so much younger than me. I saw those houses on a SF tour while I was there – they sure stood out. I just think because they are identical, so thy painted them to stand out. They are very picturesque – well, all of SF is picturesque.
