The Golden Gate reprensts the opportunity to experience the Golden opportunities available in the West! The gold rush, the golden hills and the chance for adventure. We do live in a land of Golden opportunities, just look at the White House and we can all realize the potential to succeed! :) I really love the photo of the bridge in the rearview mirror taken at the parking Lot of Fort Pointe. Fort Pointe was built to protect the Golden Gate; however by the time the Fort was finished the technology of warfare made it obsolete and not a good defense point. The fort is a museum and was nearly demolished. The bridge is wonderful to walk and stand in the Golden Gate to reflect on life and our wonderful land of Ameria!

Jane I also love the second shot

That rearview shot was actually the reflection of the bridge from my sister's sunglasses. I was kind of frustrated not to be able to capture the sky's right shade of blue but I was thrilled when I noticed her glasses worked like filter reflecting a nice angle of the bridge. She thought I was taking her close-up smile. Haha!
