The Golden Gate Bridge ~ with smoke from the wildfires.

The Golden Gate Bridge ~ with smoke from the wildfires.
The smoke from the fires that day was quite heavy. Again . I wanted a less "common" shot. To that end I was on the wrong side of a fence and close to a very big drop off ! It was the only place I could get the piers to line up.

Yes.. I know I know... bad Pamy... but who wouldn't among us when its the one chance you have ?!

Very brave shot! Lucky for you the rangers didn't catch you and put you in Bridge Jail! Wow, that is serious smoke, I thought it was fog.

That wasnt the worst smoke day either . The Saturday was a clear day.. but one of the few.

It's a wonderful shot!
But please explain; why 'bad Pammy'?
You make it sound as if photos are not permitted here. In the Land of The Free? What can this mean?

Pam J club has replied to Andy Rodker club
Thankyou Andy !

Ahhhh Andy ... ever read "Animal Farm" ? You know.. all are equal but some are more equal than others ?

A Ranger wouldn't have seen it my way and I would have had then to play the Mad(der) Englishwoman card !!!

LOL

Sorry, Pam. But I am still at a loss. Are you seriously suggesting that photos are verboten here?
If so, what can the reason be? And yes of course I have read Animal Farm!

Pam J club has replied to Andy Rodker club
Andyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!

Read what I said !!!!

" .... I was on the wrong side of a fence ..... "

Ok ? I was somewhere I was not supposed to be (due to a very big drop off to my left !!! had I been seen by a Ranger etc.. I would have got a telling off !!

Ok now ? Right side of fence OK... (but piers wouldnt line up) Wrong side of fence not OK... due possible but minor death event !!! (But piers did line up nicely !!)

The fire were only 60 miles away. This was a "better" day.. the smoke was very very tangible in sight and smell most days.

My apologies to you and to Andy for my ignorant misunderstanding-- I thought you were talking of a precipitous drop from the edge of the bridge. I edited the dumb comment out.

Of course this is an 'edgy taken photo' ---- Pam has been to the Blue Ridge Mountains with Mr C and me --- she is one of those who reads signs - but ---
Have a photo of Pam waaaay out past the sign / barrier/warning, etc.
Put it this way - the Mold was Thrown Away when she arrived!

Thank you for adding to the wonders in here:

Well, you risked fines, imprisonment and death to get this great shot. When I was there, I just sat behind the steering wheel of my pickup and drove across the bridge. I think I remember looking left and right at the ocean and bay, but I have no photos.

I wondered about this angle, even before I clicked on the small image to make it big. It is unique and beautiful. Yes, Bad Pam - and I have been Bad Raingirl more than once. Hopefully we are careful in our 'badness', nothing too crazy.

Love seeing this angle, so much appreciated. Such a magnificent location in general. Glad you were successful!!

Oh!! And so happy you are there!!!! You made it to San Fransisco!!!! Hope the whole trip is (was) totally wonderful and full of exciting things like this and lives up to your long held expectations.

I love how you have managed to line up the piers so beautifully. A great view of the bridge, - it looks really busy. The smoke makes the image very atmospheric. Your risk paid off Pam! I would have been shaking so badly I wouldn't have managed to get anything but a blur!! Have a good weekend
