View from Baker's beach.
Mile-long Baker Beach lies at the foot of rugged serpentine cliffs west of the Golden Gate. Large waves, undertow and rip currents make the beach unsafe for swimming, but it provides panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands and Lands End. You can fish or check out the shorelife along the beach and rocky shoreline.

From the San Francisco side at night. Truly a beautiful sight but not quite the magnificence I expected. So glad it's cooler weather in the Houston area. May be about time to start seeing Houston as a tourist might see it.
This iconic site is a must for visitors to Kyoto, Japan. And I was early enough to avoid the normal crowds that date:-)
Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稲荷大社) is the head shrine of Inari, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. The shrine sits at the base of a mountain also named Inari which is 233 metres above sea level, and includes trails up the mountain to many smaller shrines which span 4 kilometers and takes approximately 2 hours to walk up.

It is reachable by the path lined with thousands of vermilion Torii gates, known as Senbon Torii 千鳥居, like these shown in the photo. These Torii gates are donations by individuals and companies, and the donator's name and the date of the donation are inscribed on each gate. The cost starts around 400,000 yen for a small sized gate and increases to over one million yen for a large gate. [Source: Japan Guide]

Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge took a total of 1,604 days or a little over 4 years and 4 1/2 months. Work began on January 5, 1933, and the Bridge opened to vehicular traffic on May 28, 1937. It is the most photographed bridge in the world and it was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The bridge is constantly being painted to maintain its vibrancy. Its International Orange color is made by Sherwin Williams and it was chosen because it blends well with the span's natural setting. The bridge carries about 112,000 vehicles per day according to the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District and in a single month, the bridge normally makes close to $1.9M in revenue.
Gates I discovered off a dead-end road and enclosing an empty lot. Photoshop effects complete the image, of course.

This one is either a gate, or hurdle or fence, but whatever it is, I haven't seen one like this before. It's in Hooe, Sussex.
