Sunset Lights Up The Golden Gate (Plus a Comment)

Yes, I know that Cindy has done this with more interesting angles, the cables disapearing in the shrouding fog, and Michael Soo did it in B&W, focusing on the tethering rings, and I'm sure that Michael Puff has done it better...even I have done the Golden Gate Bridge in a stylilzed version here at the Challenges...and yet, and yet, I believe that there is real and substantial value in REALLY seeing it in its totality...done by your's truly...and please note the decaying gun turret on the far left.

It is even possible that my SF Skyline through the cables posted in Exhibition is better...but the challenges are about choices, and this is what I want. All to often Photography is interesting because of a tight focus or a novel perspective, which creates real beauty...but because of my training...I often insist on seeing the, "Whole of the Thing," and this also translates, without apology, sometimes into my photography.

Photography is a way of seeing...and seeing whole is important also.
