I know, it’s just a crane, but “big yellow” has been dangling its ball and hook on the west side of the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge for months. It’s fixture at this point, and it’s massive. Crossing the bridge heading north, I usually see it hanging its head facing the bridge. Here’s a shot from underneath of it turned away.

Finally a beautiful day in the Bay Area! Back to the commute photos. Just before the northbound toll plaza there’s a turnoff that heads down to the Crissy Field area. Along the route, I took a short jaunt down to Fort Point. If you’ve never explored the access areas near the Golden Gate Bridge this is a good one to check out.
And, on this side, there’s waves and surfers who surf them.

It’s June and it’s still raining in the Bay Area. Not the insubstantial rain we occasionally get during late May/early June some years, but RAIN! The sky did, however, clear this afternoon and the view was spectacular. I took a brief detour up onto the Marin Headlands because I could see while driving across the bridge that it would be lovely–and it was! I took a dozen photos, but this was the first image of the shoot.

Commute shot from this past week: The Golden Gate Bridge has been photographed millions of times. Here’s photo number 337,235,493. ;^)

I cross the Golden Gate Bridge twice every commute day, and I cross it frequently on weekends heading into the city for gigs or whatever. The bridge and I go way back. So I figure taking pictures of it is par for the course. Here’s an up close abstract taken today from the underside. The colored flats are planks from a section of a massive work area under the north end of the bridge.
