Thomas Pesquet: San Francisco in California. You can’t see the cable cars and steep streets from here but with the grid so clearly in sight it’s not hard to imagine them.
Retour en Californie avec San Francisco ! D’ici on ne voit pas les rues escarpées ni les tramways (ni de maison bleue adossée à la colline), mais ils sont faciles à imaginer avec un réseau urbain aussi net.
