Thanks everyone for voting on my picture. I am honored!!

For people that live in the San Francisco Bay Area, a view of the Bay Bridge is a common backdrop during the local TV nightly news programs. Watching the local TV news inspired me to look for locations to get several night shots of the Bay Bridge.

Frank, that's an excellent shot! Well done.

A really nice shot. It had a soft focus feel, but wasn't soft focus.
