"Golden Gate Suspension" ~ The two cables that gracefully suspend the bridge deck are 36.5 inches in diameter and measure 7,650 feet long between anchorages. Each cable weighs 11,000 tons. Notice the yellow light lenses. When the original 1937 fixtures were modernized in 1972, these lenses were designed to mimic the yellow glow of the old lamps.
"Through the Sails III" ~ A silhouette of the Golden Gate Bridge's south tower appears under a windblown sail.
"Through the Sails II" ~ Fluffy clouds fill the sky as the sun sets beyond a windblown sail and the Golden Gate Bridge.
"Through the Sails" ~ The goal of any photographer visiting an extremely popular travel destination is to try to find a unique perspective of landmarks. This is especially true for the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. We've all seen dramatic photos of the bridge peaking through dense fog, or with a foreground of waves blurred by a slow shutter. But how many shots have you seen with the bridge framed by a windblown sails? This wasn't a planned shot at all of course, but this composition revealed itself to me just as our catamaran tour was about to pass under the bridge. If this shot wasn't enough, I was also fortunate enough to capture "Sunset Sailboat" just minutes later. NOW AVAILABLE: 16"x24" MetalPrints in Limited Editions of 100.

"Telegraph Hill Deco" ~ An electric telegraph station was constructed in this location in 1853, giving Telegraph Hill its name.  The 210 feet tall art deco tower was designed by architects Arthur Brown, Jr. and Henry Howard in honor of Lillie Hitchcock Coit who had bequeathed one-third of her estate to the City of San Francisco for beautification endeavors.  The tower offers panoramic views of the city by the bay and serves as a beacon to help navigate the streets of San Francisco.
"Shadow Over Lime Point" ~ The shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge towers over the old 1833 fog signal building on Lime Point. Keepers used two 12-inch steam whistles to warn vessels of the rocky spur. The whistles were powered by steam created by coal-fired boilers until converting to oil-fired boilers in 1902. The station became automated in 1962 and is still in operation today.
"Golden Gate Sway" ~ Three colorful photos of the Golden Gate Bridge have been assembled to accentuate its graceful and dynamic suspension system.
