Tracking Down SF: Cable Car Rails Meet Urban Traffic

Here's downtown San Francisco doing its best impression of controlled chaos! Those iconic cable car rails slice straight through the heart of SoMa traffic, creating perfect leading lines while cars, buses, and taxis play their eternal game of stop-and-go. The towering buildings create this dramatic urban corridor effect, with warm street lights starting to twinkle against the dusky sky. Love how the motion blur on those passing vehicles captures the city's restless energy - everyone's got somewhere important to be, probably involving overpriced coffee. My iPhone SE grabbed this quintessential SF street scene during golden hour, when even gridlock looks cinematic!
