The Not Gold But Golden Gate Of SanFo

Explore #362 on Thursday, January 24, 2008 - my 28th

The Golden Gate Bridge has been recognized as an international symbol of San Francisco and one of the premier and important landmarks of the United States.

San Francisco is my personal favorite among the cites of the US.

Nice shot and good POV - I like the big rock in the foreground as a foil for the geometry of the bridge.

joegor says:

Oh, what a shot that brings back good time in SFO.
This song was on air when my tour bus was at this spot:

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay,
The glory that was Rome is just another day,
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan,
I'm going home to my city by the bay.

[Chorus:]
I left my heart in San Francisco, high on a hill it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care.
My love waits there in San Francisco, above the blue and windy sea,
When I come home to you, San Francisco, your golden sun will shine for me.

Do U know what song is this?
