The Oakland Bay Bridge close to sunset. It links the city of San Francisco, located on a peninsula, with the US mainland. It's still one of the longest suspension bridges in the world, even though it was completed in 1936.

If you go under this bridge, do a hard left after 3 km, then travel another 5 km, you'll reach the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, an even more well known SF landmark.

A nice composition with parallel lines and a good "disappear" point of the bridge. Excellent warm colours creating a real sunset mood.

Hi Chris,

Great view of this famous Oakland Bay Bridge with great details! The colors are perfectly natural and very well shown through the capture. The sharpness and POV are well done. The greenish blue water adds beauty to the picture. Well done!

best regards,

Hi Chris,
I like the POV you chosen to capture this bridge shot!
Especially the sunset cast that really is adorning this perspective.
Great cast on the water as well!
A really warm atmosphere!
I like the FG.
Well presented and very neat.

Hi Chris, This is a very impressive bridge even compared with the Bay Bridge. The inclusion of the wharf hooks in the foreground makes it more interesting and well composed from this POV. TFS. Murray.

Hello Chris
Loved the colors on horizon.
Very nice composition and balance.

IMHO the white thing in f/g is quite big in size which really blocks the view

TFS

Hi Chris,

I like the inclusion of the white mooring post in the fg (I've been out of boating circles for quite a while, and can't think of the exact term). Balanced with the wood to either side, it leads the eye to the reflection of the bridge. Very nice perspective and wonderful colors, tfs.

Best regards,
Werner
