This week’s WordPress photo challenge – Angular – was just that: challenging.
I thought to myself, Angles? I don’t have no stinkin’ angles! I’m so busy looking at nature, I’m clueless about angles. I know, I know, nature is full of them. But I wanted to post a photo of something made by human hands.
I’m usually not drawn to buildings and lines and such, so I had to comb through my archive to see what I could find…
Well. You beautiful thing, you.
San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most stunning bridges in the world. Granted, I haven’t seen very many bridges in my life, but this particular bridge is boldly romantic, sweepingly picturesque, and that FOG! It so deserves ALL CAPS. TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS FUN. Okay, focus. Back to the bridge.
That mysterious, seductive coastal fog adds a whole other dimension to its beauty. I love me some sun, but I also love how weather lends different emotions to a landscape, no matter if you’re taking photos of trees, skyscrapers or people.
So, in the end, I liked this challenge. Yes, I called angles stinky, but the ones that make up this manmade structure completely changed my mind.
That’s the power of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Perfect! And I know what you mean about the “stinkin’ angles” as I tend NOT to take building photos. Great photo, Jane.

Thanks, Jane! I know, it’s kind of rare for me to take photos of structures…hey, maybe when we actually do, it’s because the subject matter is extra special?? 😀

This is simple yet effective when expressing the Angular theme. I love the cold neutral background which adorn the red bridge very well like fire burning through the fog ❤

The fog makes it so much more mysterious. The one time I was there it was some sort of fluke… sunshine for miles and miles!

We rode our bikes right into and through that fog, so yes, we did get wet. Worth every minute, though!!
