Editing Ansel Adams (section)

===Early childhood===
One of Adams's earliest memories was watching the smoke from the fires caused by the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake]]. Then four years old, Adams was uninjured in the initial shaking but was tossed face-first into a garden wall during an [[aftershock]] three hours later, breaking and scarring his nose. A doctor recommended that his nose be reset once he reached maturity, but it remained crooked and necessitated [[mouth breathing]] for the rest of his life.{{Sfn |Alinder|1996| p = 2}}<ref name="Sierra Club 2008a">{{cite web | author = Sierra Club | year = 2008 | url = http://www.sierraclub.org/history/anseladams/ | title = Ansel Adams and the Sierra Club: About Ansel Adams | publisher = Sierra Club | access-date = February 2, 2010 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100201212325/http://www.sierraclub.org/history/anseladams/ | archive-date = February 1, 2010 | url-status = dead}}</ref>

In 1907, his family moved {{convert|2|mi|km|0}} west to a new home near the [[Sea Cliff, San Francisco|Seacliff]] neighborhood of San Francisco, just south of the [[Presidio of San Francisco|Presidio Army Base]].<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/ansel-adams-boyhood-san-francisco-house-3201869.php | title = Ansel Adams' boyhood San Francisco house | last = Whittington | first = Geoff | date = January 24, 2010 | work = San Francisco Chronicle | access-date = April 20, 2010 | location = San Francisco, CA | archive-date = May 5, 2010 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100505195553/http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-01-24/real-estate/17835300_1_ansel-adams-bath-yosemite-national-park | url-status = live }}</ref> The home had a "splendid view" of the [[Golden Gate]] and the [[Marin Headlands]].{{Sfn |Alinder|1996| p = 6}}

Adams was a [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder#ADHD-PH|hyperactive]] child and prone to frequent sickness and [[Hypochondriasis|hypochondria]]. He had few friends, but his family home and surroundings on the heights facing the Golden Gate provided ample childhood activities. He had little patience for games or sports; but he enjoyed the [[Nature#Aesthetics and beauty|beauty of nature]] from an early age, collecting bugs and exploring [[Lobos Creek]] all the way to [[Baker Beach]] and the sea cliffs leading to [[Lands End, San Francisco|Lands End]],{{Sfn |Alinder|1996| p = 6}}{{Sfn |Adams|Alinder|1985| p = 14}} "San Francisco's wildest and rockiest coast, a place strewn with shipwrecks and rife with landslides."<ref>{{cite web | url = http://parksconservancy.org/visit/park-sites/lands-end.html | title = Lands End | publisher = Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy | access-date = April 19, 2010 | location = San Francisco, CA | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100412105138/http://www.parksconservancy.org/visit/park-sites/lands-end.html | archive-date = April 12, 2010 | url-status = live}}</ref>
