Reaching almost 2 miles, with nearly a mile of that being the central span itself, this giant 6-lane suspension bridge has remained an instantly-recognisable landmark around the world since its completion in 1937. In a city so well known for fog (and hence my previous image – “fog city”!), you come to expect a bit of bad weather, photographically, every now and then – but there’s one amazing landmark in this city that always looks good, regardless of what mother nature throws at it.Įven as a rain-storm approaches, the giant silhouette of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge looks no less impressive than on another “perfect” day in the sky above. Of course, it’s not always a gloriously sunny day by the bay – indeed, as Mark Twain once commented, “The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco.” That evening warmth, though, that occurs as the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean is where the magic tends to happen as the city below bathes in its final rays of light. That’s not to say that the city view across San Francisco is any less special at other times of day – the golden glow of morning sunlight as it rises over the bay, reflecting off the steel and glass buildings of the Financial District and Market area to the east can be really quite special too. Our cities are, by nature, ever-changing entities in their own right.įrom skylines that morph into different silhouetted shapes each year, to businesses and people that come and go as their needs and successes change – these moments in time that I capture in my cityscape images are never the same from one day to the next, and the ones I’ve taken of San Francisco are no exception.įrom high above the rooftops, blue hour brings a certain electricity to the city below – the streets come alive, the skyscrapers light up with their signature decorations and we become dazzled by the energy that sits before our eyes.
