These photos were taken on the last leg of flyover at the Golden Gate before Space Shuttle Endeavor moved to the permanent home in southern California on September 21. After flying for over 122,000,000 miles, the shuttle flew only about 500 more miles before ending its air journey just a few hours after these pictures were taken. These photos are taken from two different cameras of two slightly different view points.
