This is a black and white street photo in portrait format viewing along two long, straight and parallel sets of rail tracks with an old wooden Milanese tram (street car) on the right set of tracks. The Embacadero, San Francisco (2012). In the foreground and stretching away from the camera and into the distance are the two sets of rail tracks. The camera is positioned between the two sets of tracks, about one metre above the surface and angled along the tracks. The rails are embedded into a bed of cemented medium sized, round stones: similar to those found on a beach. The two pairs of tracks are separated by a gap of about two metres. On either side of the tracks is a pavement area, lined with street lights and taller, six or seven metres tall, evenly spaced palm trees. Strung between the streetlights are cables stretched at right angles to the street that support the power cables that run above the rail tracks. On the right set of tracks is our old Milanese tram in motion away from the camera. The tram is viewed from behind and at a distance of no more than ten metres. The tram is wooden above the wheels, has vertical, rectangular windows and is packed with people inside. Above the tram is a single gantry angled upwards and touching the power cable above. Ahead and above is a clear and cloudless sky, graduating from bright white at the base and becoming ever darker towards the top of the photo.
