A bit more famous and a lot bigger than "my" bridge. But i guess mine is safer in the earthquake department. I never saw it uncropped, but this one works very well. Goffen

Hmm, I wonder where that is.... Nicely done, I hope to visit one day, I've only made it to Southern CA so far - Colin

How about this. I normally like big skies, but the absence of clouds made it boring. Ithink your suggested crop improves the image. --- Woody

Woody, I just read this sobering message on the bridge's retrofit on its website: "The race against time continues as according to the U.S. Geological Survey, there is a 62% probability of a magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake striking the San Francisco Bay Area in the next 30 years. Once the seismic retrofit construction is completed, the Golden Gate Bridge will be able to withstand a nearby quake of 8.3 magnitude." Dennis

That bridge must be one of the most photographed structures in the world! I saw a wonderful documentary about its Retrofit recently. I love the view and b&w treatment Woody, but maybe some cropping of that large expanse of sky would be better? Dennis
