Golden Gate Bridge

    What would a trip to San Francisco be without a stop at the Golden Gate Bridge?  It was a bit chilly, but I managed to get there just as the sun was going down. 


It was disconcerting to find armed guards at the tourist center, but I guess it is sign of the times. 


A brief stroll out on to the bridge for these standard tourist pictures.


Then a drive up the hill for the most famous tourist shot.  I hiked up to the very top of this hill to an old bunker.  From there, I watched the sun go down and the lights of the City come on.

Standing with your back to the Bridge and looking west toward the horizon this is what you see.
