Golden Gate Bridge

Posted by on Aug 8, 2008 in Buildings & Transportation, California, Landscapes, Photography, Water | 17 comments

After nearly three weeks away, hubs and I have finally returned from our California vacation. I’m still sorting and processing our photos (I have over 900), but this seemed a good one with which to kick off my California series. We could not have had better timing on the evening we chose to visit the Golden Gate Bridge. The sun was just setting, causing the landscape to light up. Incoming fog added interest to the scene without dimming the light too much.
