Fort Mason Buildings, The Golden Gate. San Francisco, California. August 8, 2009. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
The Golden Gate Bridge stands in the distance beyond the buildings of historic Fort Mason in San Francisco, California.
A few weeks ago I accompanied my wife to Fort Mason, where she was playing in the orchestra for Merola Opera, and I took advantage of the time to spend a few hours wandering around doing photography in the area. Mostly I photographed the old Fort Mason buildings and details of their structure, but I also wandered – along with the throngs of out-of-town tourists – up and over the nearby hill towards the Aquatic Club and the fringes of the Fishermans Wharf area.
At the top of the path over this hill there is a great panorama looking back towards the Golden Gate over the tops of the historic buildings of Fort Mason.
