Around the Bay Area – Part 4 New Year’s Day on the Golden Gate Bridge

My cousin Ted and his wife Amy have a tradition of walking across the Golden Gate Bridge on New Year’s Day and they invited me along this year.  It was a beautiful day, a bit brisk but nice.  And we went early so it wasn’t terribly crowded.  Here are a bunch of photos:

This is the view from where we parked

On the way to getting to the bridge

I thought this was a cool shot

I liked how the shadow fell on the mountainside

View towards Marin and Angel Island

At the vista point on the Marin side – you can see the Bay Bridge if you look closely

The sun’s reflections were so pretty!

Starting to head back to SF

Back on the SF inside a little coffee shop

These next two shots look identical except the lighting looks different.  I think somehow my flash got turned on so I think the first one was with flash on, and then I figured it out and turned it off

We walked along an abandoned pier – there were people fishing for crabs with fishing poles

After getting back to the car we had a nice hot Korean lunch.  Yum!  This dish was in a heated up (hot!) ceramic bowl and sizzled and steamed for quite a while.  Rice at the bottom got a nice crispy crunch on the bottom.  There were a bunch of different seafood in the bowl.  YUMMY!

So, my time in the bay area was soon coming to a close and I decided to head back to Carmel in a few days.  Stay tuned for more!
