SUPER!
Thank you, Alois. 😊
Hi Jane,
Got your comment in my in-box but not on my WordPress site. I know WordPress is working on it because I got an email from their support staff.
Thanks

Do you mean this thank you to Alois?
That’s a funny quote and quite real! since kid among the few dream-cities with which I had love to live San Francisco is always in top. I feel it as a place I had read in Arabian Nights.
Thank you, Francis. That is a famous one. It is a special city full of beautiful light.
Wow! Heavenly.
Thank you so much, J.D. She is a beauty. 🙂
They are all beautiful and impressive, but my favorites are these in black and white and with the sunsets and these one here “Golden Gate and Fog”.
Best regards, Heidi
Thanks so much, Heidi. I’m partial to black and whites, too. Glad you like this classic SF scene. 🙂
Moody, gorgeous, a little bit spooky!
Hi Alexankarrl, She evokes many moods as does San Francisco. Glad you enjoyed– thank you!
Your image reminds me of the two-tone cars of the 1950s. You’re fortunate to have the bridge and the Golden Gate itself to play with photographically.
That’s a cool thought, Steve. I am in love with our bridge and she’s a constant source of inspiration. Pleased you liked this shot– thanks so much.
Fabulous, Jane!
Thanks so much, Klausbernd. It was a memorable moment.
Wow, that’s stunning, Jane.
Thank you, Karen. A classic SF moment that was a thrill to capture. 🙂

Very cool shot.

A wonderful image Jane! 🙂

That shot of the golden state bridge is unbelievable!😀
Thanks very much, Spiffy and Sweets. It was an amazing evening of beauty.
It’s good to have a muse nearby…a beautiful one!
HI Lynn, She is steadfast… glad you like her pose in this one. Thanks so much. 🙂
I could stare at this for hours, Jane.
It is so serene and absolutely beautiful.
Hi Lisa, Thank you- it was a mesmerizing combination of vibrant sunset and fog rolling in. Very cool and very SF. 🙂
Ha, ha. It seems that you do. I like the ones with rain – and fog.
Thanks, Lisa. The moodier, the better. 🙂
Jane this is just gorgeous!
Thanks, Edith! One of those SF moments…
I love this photograph and the way you capture moments! And the quotation suits perfectly!
Thank you, zberlina. That’s very nice to read, I really appreciate it. The quote is a famous one and I thought it went well with the moment. Heaven is really below that fog. 🙂
Very cool shot, Jane!
Thanks so much, Eliza. Glad you like it.
Ah, what a magic image.
Thanks very much, Cornelia. It felt magical. 🙂
Magnificent shot of The Bridge! I remember Herb Caen well. Is he still writing columns?
Glad you like it, Gunta. Thank you! Herb died in 1997…but his quotes and legacy live on.
Goodness! That makes me really feel my age and a bit stupid. He felt like a contemporary back in my day, but he was a few decades older back then! His words definitely live on. Thanks for the memory.
Time passes by so quickly! Been there. 🙂
Fabulous photo, Jane. It makes me homesick for the old job. Who am I kidding, I miss the view at the old job. Your B&Ws down at Ft. Point are beautiful. The clouds and the water are superb.

Hi Allan, Thank you so much– coming from a resident expert, it means a lot to me. I’m pleased that the various images bring back fond memories. It’s a special place.
Wrapped in Fog, the world is still at rest…That dreamy moment. This is beautiful captured,Jane. Love still your portraits of your amazing muse.
Thank you so much, Stefan. This was a special moment of seeing her in a classic pose.
So when is your ‘Golden Gate’ coffee table book coming out? You should do it … you have so many beautiful and different photos of it! Love this!
Hi Denise, You and a number of others have suggested that– I am working on narrowing my collection down….like picking a favorite child. Thank you so much for your encouragement- I really appreciated it.
Ahhhh your muse Jane – understandably so! Beautifully captured.
Thanks so much, Tina.
The bridge is a beauty, but the sky and clouds may show it up here!
Thanks, Lex– It was a gift that the fog rolled in at sunset. Happy you like it.
Beautiful, and perfect for this challenge. I’m going to link so that my readers can enjoy it as well.
Hi Dawn, Thank you so much for enjoying and sharing. Much appreciated.
WOW…just blown away by this….love to get lost in it’s beauty!😍
HI April, She is pretty spectacular when surrounded by her friend, Karl the Fog. Thanks so much. 🙂
I smiled! …We just don’t know but SF would be hard to beat.
Hi Paula, Herb is oft quoted and I think he may be right…heaven is right below this fog. 🙂 Thanks for your thoughts, as always.
I couldn’t help to smile at Herb’s quote 🙂 but I do trust he will be surprized to find that heaven outglows San Francsisco. This must be one of the most photographed bridges in the world (if you don’t believe me jut click on yout link) but showing just the point lik an icberg you have no proof that it actually is the Golden Gate bridge 🙂
Hi Abrie, Funny… Herb is oft quoted and I thought it paired so well with this iconic scene. Who knows what lies beneath….oh, I know, it is heaven! 🙂
😀
wow – that photo is amazing – and the quote is fun….
Thank you, Yvette. Was thrilled with the sunset timing of the fog. Herb Caen is oft quoted and I thought it fit the image so well. 🙂
That is crazy that the fog gets that thick – I have been there many times and have never seen it like that – looks like someone piped it in for an effect
Very cool shot Jane!
Thanks, Michael. One of those classic SF moments…
very sensitive and beautiful moment you captured, Jane.
Thank you, Cornelia. Much appreciated.
Great image, Jane. Reminds me of when we were there one July 4th. 🙂
Thank you, Sylvia. How nice that it brought back foggy memories. 🙂 Appreciate you stopping by.
your photos are wonderful…ansd they make me homesick for the bay area!
Thanks, Ann Marie. Happy it brought back some good memories. 😉
Beautiful shot! To think there was a city with a million people under those clouds!
So true, Hien. A magical world above. Glad you enjoyed this classic SF moment. Thank you.
Never seen this in person, but it is most spectacular. An iconic SF sight.
Hi Jude, It really is and I feel fortunate to capture it every so often. Great fun. Happy you like it– thanks very much.
beautiful photo, I feel like I am there!
Thanks, Rob. A classic, dreamy GG scene. Appreciate you stopping by.
Oh, Jane, this is so beautiful.
Thank you, Jane. A lovely SF moment.
