There are bridges other than the Golden Gate, in the SF Bay area. Here is one

    The colour and the mood are outstanding in deed.

    Clever composition

    Tonight's Moonrise
    Nice shots, I really like the blue of your twilight shot.

    I've never thought of shooting the San Mateo Bridge. How's the access?

    The moonrise tonight in the Bay Area was spectacular. I was driving
    home from work and it was glowing orange against the Fremont Hills.

    The access is great. There is a Bay trail for hikers/bicyclists. I brought wide lenses since the subject was the bridge not the moon & shot from low w FX mode. The water was not as still as I thought it would be.

    Next month I'm going try shooting from the top of the old San Mateo dump (now a park) with a new D90 (DX mode) with the moon as subject. I'll be able to get that orange close to the horizon moon IF there is no fog.

    Here's one morning shot I like

    Oh my, that's really pretty. A couple of years or so ago my daughter and I drove over that bridge on our Fremont commute. Never quite saw it as a thing of beauty, but I've changed my mind since this picture.
