Description
There is an area west of the Golden Gate Bridge called China Beach that most visitors never visit. Here is a different view looking east at a foggy Golden Gate.

not the usual well known postcard pov, cool atmospherics as well!
I have never seen this view before. What a superb composition, Mark! Looks a tad windy too,
Neat shot. I have been there...in this exact spot...in 1973. Isn't it great to get the view few have seen? If I recall there are some old, deserted coastal artillery fortifications up above China Beach. We lived just east of the highway in Army family housing on The Presidio of San Francisco. Gorgeous but cold at times, even in the middle of the summer...thanks to sea breezes and fog. Good memories...
je ne connaisais pas ce pont!!belle photo!!
Wonderful shot, Mark!
What an amazing POV! I must admit, I have really never seen the Golden Gate photographed from here! It is such a great beach!!
Nice work - a great POV of a landmark that has been the victim of myriad cliched snapshots.
Lovely!
this is really beautiful !!!
SPECTACULAR SHOT ALSO FROM THIS POV!
It's a great shot. The far side of the bridge looks almost like a fantasy world to me. It has a very sombre feel to it. Even the fact that the bridge itself looks like it's fading makes it far more interesting that most shots of the bridge I've seen.
Not many places in The City where you can find a quiet spot on the beach but this is definitely one of them. And you have captured it so beautifully...and peacefully.
excellet photoshot...
Have been there also..like the mood of the image...not a usual tourist image..
Beautiful composition and shot !
I'm pretty much mirroring what others have said. I like the different view and the way the bridge, which commands attention because it is so beautiful, is not in pride of place as the only reason to see the picture. It is instead, part of the landscape, with its head in the clouds. The gentleman nearest, who seems to be feeling the cold and wind, the bird, the couple, the mountains, water and the bridge all come together to make this a phenomenal shot. I like it a lot!
beautiful capture as I stare and look upon the view smiles warm hugs, Linda
Wonderfully done!
This is a great view. I love how the tops of the bridge fade into the mist. I love the whole picture!
