Golden Gate Bridge at Twilight
After too many failed attempts of shooting the Golden Gate Bridge, I can tell you the secret. On a clear day, you want to wait till sun has set and the towers are lit. Twilight is the perfect time.

For Halloween: A Tombstone
Alexander Tomb Stone, Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland

Lifeguard Tower, Sea Cliff Beach
