This shot was taken from the Pacific coast trail/Slackers hill trail on our way back after taking the shot that I posted earlier. By the time we reached the viewpoint, the blue hour was almost ending and we could see the sky turning way darker than it was before. I also wanted to get a nice streak of light trails to use as leading line to the bridge. For some reason traffic was unusually light at this time of the day and we had to try many more shots than normal to the trails that I liked.

I think this was the best one of the bunch when also considering the fact that how many airplanes and helicopters are also present in these skies. Personally, I would have preferred to take this shot a bit earlier but I like the way it turned out.

I had this shot in mind for some time, years actually. One of the tasks that get assigned to you when you live way out in California, and most of your family lives on the east coast is that you become the de facto tour guide. I have taken lots of my family members to view the golden gate bridge from Battery Spencer that we have a metro toll payer in our car even though we live in SoCal, and there are no toll roads.

Anyways during those trips, I often wondered about the winding roads that snake their way up and down the Marin Headlands and wondered about photo opportunities. Finally, I convinced my wife to spend my birthday weekend here, and we spend a whole day exploring the various trails near the golden gate bridge. The location of this shot is on the beautiful coastal trail.
