Over the years, Golden Gate Bridge has been a symbol of hope and dreams for many. For most people living in the Bay Area, she is a beauty that we admire. As for me, she is one of the many things why I love San Francisco.
Just the past Sunday, many of us were treated to a magnificent fireworks show as we celebrated her 75th Birthday! The festivities run for 2 days and ended with this 30 mins fireworks display. There were quite some planning done to get here to shoot that day. Due to roads closure in various places for the festivities, my photographer friends and I were worried about parking situation in the city, so we'd decided to come here really early. There were also some debate on where to shoot. In the end, we chose to be up on top of the hill due to concerns of possible low fog and wind direction after sunset. The compromised made here was that I had to deal with the hill blocking the lower part of this image...well, we can't have everything, so I am not complaining.
Overall, it was a spectacular light show, and I hope this picture has captured some of that excitement. I don't know how they are going to top this when she turns 100th, but I hope I will still be in the area to witness it again.
