Continuing my quest for different angles of the Golden Gate Bridge, here’s a painterly take on the bridge which I obtained by carefully climbing down a small hill where I wasn’t supposed to go. I’m such a rebel, lol.
I think not only can the angles of the bridge be unique, but processing helps create uniqueness as well. It’s why we can see so many pictures of this magnificent structure from the same angle and constantly see something new.
If you’d like to see a larger version, just click on the image.

Hi Mitch! Thank you so much. 🙂

One of my favorite times going to work was being stuck on the Golden Gate bridge as the sun was starting to rise above the fog. Incredible colors! Another was coming home and seeing sunsets like that one as I headed north on the GG bridge.
Thanks for the memories. 🙂

Go rebel!!! Great composition 🙂
April 26, 2016 at 5:58 pm
Hehe thank you!!
April 27, 2016 at 3:57 pm
A pleasure as always 😀

I like your treatment of this photo. Looks like it was taken near the back of the building that was my barracks when stationed at the Presidio (1969) with the 30th Military Police Battalion. One of those two story white stucco buildings that back up to Lincoln Blvd. by the batteries. Most early mornings the area would be covered with fog and the smell of Eucalyptus. Back then the batteries were hard to see as they were mostly overgrown. The batteries on the north side of the bridge had large underground tunnels that we could drive our patrol cars in. They used to store Civil Defense items in some of them and occasionally we’d find broken locks where the hippies, allegedly :), had broken in to get food and other supplies.

That is so interesting. And now hippies are the homeless. Fog and eucalyptus remind me of home in the Oakland hills and this area as well. Isn’t it funny how we remember smells and associate them with memories? Thanks so much for sharing this. Oh and thanks for the compliment. 🙂

Your welcome. I think music and smells arr very powerful memory joggers.
April 27, 2016 at 6:41 am
Agreed!
April 26, 2016 at 6:20 pm
Such a beautiful pink sunset. Be a rebel, get the shot. Looks like you were careful and it paid off. Well done 🙂
April 26, 2016 at 6:52 pm
I was praying the Golden Gate Swat Team wouldn’t tackle me to the ground and confiscate my camera LOL! Thank you Mabel. 🙂
April 26, 2016 at 6:51 pm
Wonderful, sometimes you have to be a rebal to get the one of a kind shot. Glad you did not get caught.
April 26, 2016 at 6:52 pm
Thanks so much Terry. :). Me too. I’d like to get through my life without being arrested! 😉
April 26, 2016 at 7:49 pm
A new take, it’s wonderful!
April 26, 2016 at 8:11 pm
Thank you Belinda. 🙂
April 26, 2016 at 8:30 pm
Love the composition! rich colours and great angle : ))
April 27, 2016 at 6:24 am
But of course you like these trees and shrubs. 🙂 hehe Thank you!
April 26, 2016 at 8:47 pm
some how it seems less rigid (soft bridge)
April 27, 2016 at 6:24 am
Let’s pray it’s not too soft when I drive over it. LOL
April 26, 2016 at 9:08 pm
Beautiful Laura! 😉 ❤
April 27, 2016 at 6:24 am
Thank you Carolina!
April 27, 2016 at 11:26 am
You’re welcome Laura ❤ 😉
April 26, 2016 at 9:29 pm
Fabulous shot, Laura. You be careful out there on those cliffs, you rebel. 😎
April 27, 2016 at 6:25 am
Yup that’s me! Such a risk taker. 😉 Thank you Jane.
April 26, 2016 at 10:58 pm
Fantastic effect, Laura. And fabulous composition and POV.
April 27, 2016 at 6:25 am
Thank you! I appreciate that so much.
April 26, 2016 at 11:11 pm
Absolutely Stunning!
April 27, 2016 at 6:25 am
Thank you so much. 🙂
April 27, 2016 at 12:28 am
What a great angle, and I like your processing!
April 27, 2016 at 6:37 am
Thank you! I’m glad it works! I never really know until I blog it. 🙂
April 27, 2016 at 12:05 pm
Love how you edited this image, Laura, so soft and pink with the light falling just perfectly on the bushes. Beautiful. ❤
April 27, 2016 at 7:12 pm
Thank you! I love the cool blue with the pink and yellowish green. 🙂
April 27, 2016 at 12:49 pm
Serene.
April 27, 2016 at 7:13 pm
Indeed. Thanks Frank. (I really like saying that.)
April 27, 2016 at 7:24 pm
Sometimes one word fits.
April 27, 2016 at 8:55 pm

I love the effect on the leaves. You are a master. I was going to say mistress but that has a bad connotation!
April 30, 2016 at 9:04 am
Um yeah, pass on the mistress thing. 😛 Thank you! And thanks to Topaz Impression and Topaz Glow. 🙂
April 30, 2016 at 10:32 am
I have 8 or 9 Topaz apps. But no Impression or Glow. How many do they have?
April 30, 2016 at 4:51 pm
I’m not sure. I have adjust (don’t like that one), Clarity, Denoise (favorite), impression, glow, and simplify (don’t much like that one either).
May 2, 2016 at 9:36 am
I use Adjust rarely, Denoise even rarelier! I have been using Simplify, then discovered Restyle (I think that’s what it’s called). At first I would try to find something that looked good as a one click, but you really have to work with the sliders to get something to fit your vision. But they give you great starting points- even if they give you so many that it’s a bit of overkill.
May 2, 2016 at 1:44 pm
I can’t get by without Denoise. And I love Restyle! And I agree. So many are crazy overblown.
