Mystic Golden Gate [Contest Winner Pool November 2008 Nature Photography and Landscapes]
Uploaded: November 09, 2008 13:58:38
Renee was expecting fog to roll in to the Golden Gate Bridge while waiting right underneath the bridge. As she wished, fog did roll in and it wrapped the entire bridge before we knew it. We couldn't see a thing. Quickly, we had to move to another location. We drove across the bay and this is where we ended up; Marine Headlands. We were both excited about this view. I'm sure Renee has got some spectacular shots. Can't wait to see them.
