Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco, California December 2011
The fisherman leaves the bay for his first catch. This image has all the elements to it. Even the seagull on the left helps create balance and a serenity on the early morning hours. The belt of Venus (slight magenta on top) adds color and a patina to the "international orange" color of the Golden Gate. This is the south tower of the Golden Gate with Fort Mint on the middle left side. Shot with my most expensive camera that I use both for sports and landscape. I have since sold that camera but the lens is still with me. With Treasure Island's construction going full blast, this image cannot be captured again for the next few years because they've cordoned off the area with cyclone fences.
