The marine fog that rolled in really made this picture...It also made me really cold. Golden Gate Bridge is definitely the funnest object I've ever had a chance to photograph.
Wow thanks everyone. I'm glad others enjoy it as much as I do. I think the fog is important because it provides and interesting ending to the motion of the cable and also adds more depth. It highlights the cable rather than the tower and the cable is obviously the focus here.
I'm not sure how I got that luster. I think the sun was at the correct angle and the paint was reflecting the light just so. It looks as though they repainted the bottom of the cable but not the top. I did very little post processing on this. No cropping.

The Port Mann Bridge is a 10-lane cable-stayed, toll bridge that opened to traffic in 2012. It is currently the second longest cable-stayed bridge in North America and was the widest bridge in the world until the opening of the new Bay Bridge in California. This bridge replaced a steel arch bridge that previous spanned the Fraser River.
The Port Mann bridge spans the Mighty Fraser River, connecting Coquitlam and Surrey, BC Canada
Length: 2,020 metres (6,630 ft)

(What caught my eye was the multi-layers and lines)

I put this in the group, then took it out when I thought maybe only round baubles were the theme, then saw other non-round ornaments being accepted, so I've put it back in. Well, it is the purpose of cable cars to go back and forth, after all!
Looking close...on Friday: Christmas baubles. This souvenir of San Francisco is about 3 inches/7.5 cm across.
Happy holidays, Flickr friends!
