Friday Photo - Golden Gate Bridge Aerial View



This is an aerial view of the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. This photograph was taken from an aircraft a few minutes before it landed at San Francisco Airport. It is travelling North to South. You can see the Golden Gate bridge and at the North West of the photo is the City of San Francisco.

Photographer is my friend Bin Shu. Camera used is Nikon D-SLR D-100.

Nice picture. It looks so small from here and was so huge when I saw it from the boat trip.

do you live in San Francisco? if yes, I envy you. i spent a couple of days just walking by myself in this city and I LOVED IT! and ever since any picture of the area brings all the memories right back :-)

Anand,
Yeah, I feel the same way. Its so huge yet so tiny from the sky.

Cogito - Yes, you are right and thanks for stopping by.

Lalith - I live 35 miles North of San Francisco. I love the city but I am too scared to drive due to the ups and downs. I'd rather take the rail cars.

Nice photo indeed.

Praveen - Chennai la ipdi edutha coovum odum.. but then, photographs don't stink. When MRTS was launched abt 10 yrs back, they published pictures of coovum taken from the train and many ppl couldn't identify that it is coovum as it looked very different.

If u see the Chennai from the air - esp. at night, it wd make u whistle.. esp. with the sodium vapour lamps decorating the city.

அழகிய கோல்டன் கேட் பாலம்
சான் ப்ரான்சிஸ்கோவின் பலம்

அதிலே போகும் கார்கள் பல ரகம்
அந்த காற்றை சுவாசிப்பதில் சுகம்

அங்கே வசிக்கும் மக்களும் பல விதம்
இயற்கையின் எழிலும் மனதுக்கு இதம்

மொத்தத்தில் அது ஒரு சொர்க லோகம்
அதன் மேல் மனதுக்கு என்றும் மோகம்!

Hi Narayanan, nice picture, I guess pictures related to nature always commands our attention more than other things, i don know whether you are of the same view or not..but personally i feel so, i can see you have successfully uploaded your work in the tamil font you wanted, congratulations! For people like me who cannot read the language, could we have a translation, please.

Nice shot. Do you have a full version of the photo ?. At what resolution was the shot taken by the way?

By the way I visited SFO last September. Loved the place.
