16:9 crop of full width transparency (I’ve cropped out some sky). I’ve uploaded this at higher resolution (1920px on the long side) to show the detail and clarity achievable with Kodachrome.

As I suspected, Lombard/ Hyde Streets, the external architecture as well as the light displayed in your pictures look pretty much the same now as then and it's wonderful to see. Love it. Thank you.

Thanks Lynn for all of these.

I have been enjoying these images, what a trip this must have been. It convinced me that I should be running through my archives as well. It's never too early.

This thread inspires me, too. Sooner or later, I'll make a thread about my trip to Japan in 2010, which ticked a lot of things off my bucket list. It's 'only' been 14 years, but I think about that trip often.

Wow Lynn, not just quantity but quality too. I recently (July) returned from a motorcycle road trip in Northern Portugal. I was delighted to have shot seven rolls of medium format. This was a high hit rate, often I return from trips with unused film.

#USA34-06 near Kirby beach, north west of Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, 10 June 1979. I can’t identify the exact location on satellite view - maybe this structure is no longer there.
