Thanks, Gary. I don't get out to the west coast much any more and I remember these moments fondly.

This is a fabulous and unique image, Christopher - congratulations on your First Place Win in the Rule of Thirds contest - well deserved!

Wow. Very nice capture. I love how the bridge just disappears into the thick fog.
Christopher McKenzie replied:
Thank you, Jennifer! Just think about those hapless drivers crossing the bridge. The fog tends to roll in right at rush hour it seems.
Andrea Lazar
Among the myriad of photos of this bridge that I have seen, this one stands out. The fog here is a common event, but it is your artistry and your photographer's eye that made this especially impressive and memorable. Just a wonderful image! L.F.
Christopher McKenzie replied:
Thank you, Andrea. That means a lot...as I know it is difficult to get a 'new' perspective on the most photographed object in the world.

Gorgeous shot! Love the trademark fog! I checked out your gallery as I grew up in Topeka and enjoyed many visits to the big city of Kansas City growing up!
