I took this from the inside of a cable car in San Francisco, looking out the back. The guy who collected the tickets was standing right in front of me, on the other side of the glass, yet in the picture it looks like you can see right through him! It's quite spooky - I think it's a strange optical illusion, because of the way the buildings on the other side of the street are almost perfectly reflected in the glass. I've studied the picture for ages and still can't fathom it!

"El Cable Inglés", as it is known locally, was built around the 1900's and used for loading ore onto ships in the port of Almería, Andalucía.
This is a re-edit (cropping/orientation/saturation) of a much earlier photo that I always liked but just finally figured out what drew me to the image, and how better to draw those characteristics out.
The San Francisco cable car system is the world's last manually operated cable car system. An icon of San Francisco, the cable car system forms part of the intermodal urban transport network operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway. Of the twenty-three lines established between 1873 and 1890, three remain (one of which combines parts of two earlier lines): two routes from downtown near Union Square to Fisherman's Wharf, and a third route along California Street. While the cable cars are used to a certain extent by commuters, the vast majority of their 7 million annual passengers are tourists. The cable cars are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Hacia donde uno levante la mirada, siempre veremos una gran cantidad de cables de electricidad y telefono. El robo de electricidad es muy común en los barrios de gente muy pobre. Las autoridades (cual autoridad?) no hacen nada.
Wherever one looks up, we will always see a lot of electricity and telephone cables. Theft of electricity is very common in poor neighborhoods. The authorities (which authority?) Do nothing.
