The Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco

Who goes to San Francisco and not photography the Golden Gate. I have travelled there a number of times now and never miss an opportunity to photograph this bridge. It has so many moods where it be sunrise, sunset, after dark, fog, clear skies or clouds. I personally like the time after sunset when the lights come on and the if there is a little high cloud it lights up with the city lights as a backdrop.

It was a warm saturday evening and folks and families lined vantage point after vantage point from Marin Headlands all the way down to the Bridge to watch the sun go down and watch the lights, light up the bay, while enjoying a beer or glass of wine. The local radio ” 107.7 The Bone” station played the song “Lights” by Journey right as the sun was disappearing over the horizon. Journey being a band originally from San Francisco and “Lights” a tune about San Francisco Bay. It was a perfect way to end a warm San Franciscan day. I never shot the sunset, I just parked the car and stood on the edge of the road looking out over the San Francisco and the Pacific Ocean pondering my last few days of the trip, what I had seen, where I had travelled and what my family was doing the other side of the planet …

After all that …. What did you expect me to do, call it night, no freakin way … I cracked the camera open and started shooting

Enjoy …. and yes its a stitch … 8 image …
