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.
