Ferndale power and light
Another one from Ferndale. To preserve the Victorian ambiance, there are no utility poles along the town’s Main Street. Elsewhere in town, however, power and phone poles are an integral–and in places unavoidable–element in the landscape. The only option when they intrude is to work them into the composition.
6:58 am – Ferndale
Spent the weekend in “the Victorian Village of Ferndale,” as the town’s publicists invariably refer to it. In fact the place is not only authentic and impeccably cared for–the entire town on the national register of historic places–but it also feels lived in.
Castro connections . . .
Between the utility lines and and the line’s powering the electric buses, the air space above the intersection of Castro and 18th streets is a maze of wires–fitting for the main intersection in this high-energy San Francisco neighborhood.
