Golden Gate

Le célèbre pont Golden Gate Bridge en contre-jour. Vous ne verrez donc pas sont teint orangé ici. Je trouve que cette photo fait changement avec la vue traditionnelle qu'on a toujours de ce pont.

Famous Golden Gate Bridge in SF. I think I managed to present a much different view of what we always see of that bridge.

@bluechameleon: Thank you! It was taken from a moving boat. A bit of a challenge.

Original le Golden Gate en contre jour, cela change de la traditionnelle carte-postal touristique. Tu as bien exploité l'idée !

As I like bridges very much this is one of my favourites today. Such a nice unusual perspective of this all-time classic! Good!

Indeed, a very refreshing take on this oft photographed bridge. I posted some photos a couple of days ago which I took in 1986 of the Golden Gate bridge, but didn't get much further than the same photo everybody else takes. Well done!

@Hoshisato: I also took the "classical" shot of the bridge, but since we see them all the time, I went for what I think is a completetly fresh view. Hope you like it. Thanks for your visit and comment.

@Isao: Merci. Pour le cadrage, je devais faire très vite, car la photo fut prise d'un bateau en mouvement. J'ai mis l'oeil au viseur et j'ai attendu que les choses prennent place, puis clic.
