This is the suspension side of the bridge which runs from Yerba Buena Island to San Francisco. This shot was taken from Treasure Island. TI was built from the soil dredged for the construction of the Bay Bridge. The Island was the site for the 1939 World's Fair. As you can imagine, it offers killer views of the City and the East Bay. Now that the island has been demilitarized, the debate about how best to use the land rages on. For more bridge views from around the world, visit «Louis La Vache's»

a beautiful, sleek bridge...marvelous composition!
ReplyDeleteThat is a "killer" photo.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to see a suspension bridge in person. Fantastic view!
ReplyDeleteI hope the use for TI gets settled soon, and that it's good for the majority of residents and not just a select few.
Gorgeous. Just love that there really is a place called Treaure Island!
ReplyDeleteBelle prise de vue.
ReplyDeleteBonne journée.
Beautiful capture, very interesting info given.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful sight.
After the 1939 World's Fair, Pan American Airlines flew the famous China Clippers from TI. The Navy took it over in WWII. Admiral Nimitz and Catherine lived on TI for a time.
ReplyDelete«Louis» thanks you for your contributions to Sunday Bridges.
Like Jilly, I love that name, too! And this is a fantastic view of the bridge. Great photo :-D
ReplyDeleteInteresting shot od the Bay Bridge.
ReplyDeleteAbout my moon shots.
I do NOT have a tripod or use anything special. I have Canon SX20 IS.(not expensive) It have a very nice zoom on it.
I just zoom in on the moon and press the button and let the focus work and after all the moving and camera shake and I get a good shot I slowly press the shutter button. I seldom have any problem. I just try to hold as steady as I can. Sometimes the focus doesn't want to work so I take a blurry shot and then try again and that's all I know. So just be steady and have patience. MB
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteLove the contrast here: nature vs. technology. Very clever perspective!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful bridge. Too bad she's not as famous as her golden cousin. :)
