Golden Light, Golden Gate

2008.01.22
Sunset across San Francisco Bay

This is a few years old now but I thought I would post a sunlit shot to celebrate it not raining for the first time in a couple of weeks.

I know that technically the picture isn't very good; too much contrast, the highlights are completely burnt out, blah, blah blah... but I quite like it for two reasons.

The bridge looks quite ghostly in the haze and it reminds me of a very cool city.

DancingDolphin Right, and who wants to be 'perfect' any way!? :-) I LOVE the ghostly bridge also!

dweiskir I love this shot. It's not a "techincally" perfect shot, but I think that's what make it work so well. And I love the way the Golden Gate is barely visible, floating in the background.
