The south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge photographed from the approach
leading up to Fort Point. The photo was taken just after sunset on September
18th 2006.
Right after I took this photo, two officers in a white Homeland Security
vehicle, with red and blue lights flashing, stopped me. I was part of their
sunset sweep to get everyone out of the area so they could close down the
road for the night. What a sadly changed world we now live in. Until 9-11,
one could visit Fort Point under the bridge at all hours of the night. What
a magic place it was to watch the black silhouettes of massive towering
ships quietly gliding under the illuminated span...to listen to the low
bellowing and shrill cries of the many life-saving fog horns that guard
the dangerous dark waters...to smell the wet night salt air...or to loose
one's whole self in the eternal clack-clack-clack-clack of traffic on the
roadway high above.
