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.

If you climb a hill on the road to Cronkite you can enjoy this view of the GGB. San Francisco is an incredible city but I enjoy the veil of the Marin headlands. I can escape the city yet be minuets from it. It's the best of both worlds within minuets of a right foot flexing. I was looking for an image that tells the story of Marin or help define the feel of the place. I think this is close!

The quintessential Golden Gate shot. I was in the west coast last weekend but didn't had a lot of time in my hands. so I decided to get to the Golden Gate and get the touristy shots. My friend suggested this location as it has the city lights behind to give some interest. I was really hoping for some fog but didn't get lucky. I really wanted to get a shot from the other side though as it would have captured a beautiful sunset behind the bridge.

Early morning on the marin headlands at one of the lower viewpoints. No low fog or other spectacular things happneded that morning but I just had to get my golden Gate shot :-)

In 1937, San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge opened to the public. It's built of steel and has a length of 2.7 km. It has it's name after the Golden Gate Strait which is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.

Thank you for taking time to view this image!

Of course, you can find out the north tower of Golden Gate Bridge, which just situated at the top of huge rocks in the right side of this frame, this image was taken from the Point Lobos, Lands End, San Francisco, California.

Unsuccessfully, expected to capture low fog event at the Golden Gate, but there was empty around, you know, it was not happy for waking up too early at 4:00am. So, I had to shoot something instead of nothing. Very fortunate, the light of early morning was very enchanting, and all of people just were crossing the bridge from either bounds to enjoy their Saturday. The frame was quite peaceful and charming ... this is a beautiful world, isn’s it?

This perspective was viewing from Golden Gate Overlook, near Landon Court Parking Lot. Hope you’ll like it, with best wishes to thank you for your visit.

The best photographers that I know are also great planners, researchers, and weathermen. Every once in a while, though, things can be lucky. This was...

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.

This perspective was viewing from Crissy Field in San Francisco. Thank you for taking the time to watch this image, and with best wishes for everyone! Sincerely welcome all of you to visit the romantic city - San Francisco.
