Golden Gate Fuzzy Bridge

As I think I mentioned before, you will be seeing a number of Big Orange Bridge pictures as the year progresses. This particular one is taken during Yappy Hour at our wonderful Dog Sitter's place. I had to put the tripod up on a table, and I couldn't reach the viewer, so the focus isn't great.

Luckily, the bridge looks good even fuzzy!

First glimpse...

Ok, so one recurring theme you are likely to see over the course of the next year is The Big Orange Bridge (aka The Golden Gate Bridge).

When I first moved to San Francisco, I was driving down this major street (I can't spell thoro-fare) that runs through the Sunset and Richmond Districts -- 19th Street. Between Quintara and Pacheco on this street, you get the very first glimpse of the towers of the BOB. The effect can actually be quite staggering -- you are still about 8 miles from the bridge at this point (see this link for a map of where this picture was taken). I think, that day in 2000, I actually fell in love with this city and that bridge.

I haven't said it yet, but I do intend on taking all of these pictures on the day they are posted. Although the pictures speaks to that moment in 2000, it was taken at about 4:50pm PST today, January 31, 2007.
