Default Golden Gate Bridge at night

A fun shot of the Golden Gate Bridge without a tripod. But I did find a fence post to use as a substitute.

Very nice shot. I like the reflection in the water along the span of the bridge.

Spectacular shot, I love the reflection of the lights on the bridge and the blue sky.
