Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco
This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature and Weather Photos
My favorite photograph, captured on my last morning in San Francisco. After two beautiful sunrises with no fog I was treated to this gift on my final day. A truly beautiful experience full of amazing colors, fast-moving fog, and constantly changing light, which made for some dramatic images.
