An abstract look at San Fran
Jim Nix / Nomadic Pursuits has added a photo to the pool:
Sort of an abstract shot from atop the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. I walked up on the bridge, after spending a bit of time taking photos from below at Fort Point. It was a bit windy up there! Anyways, I liked the look of the city off in the distance and that one pier jutting out, but by itself it was a pretty boring shot. As I walked past one of these sets of cables that are supporting the bridge, I figured why not try including that for a little foreground interest? So, does it work? The cool thing is that without even reading this, I bet you could tell it was the Golden Gate Bridge, right?
