Urban Landscapes


Windows to past landscapes can be found in the strangest places. The above is a section of a frame taken from a 1977 American film dubbed in German and renamed Die Hasen von San Francisco. What attracted me to this frame were the two cars in the intersection: the economical (German-made) Volkswagen and the gas-guzzling (American-made) Cadillac(?). But what stays with me is the sky. All North American west coast cities have their own version of the sky. They even write songs about them. Like this one, about Seattle.
