Golden Gate

A leisurely stroll around the Japanese Tea Garden at Golden Gate Park, followed by a visit to the iconic bridge itself was how we spent our second day in San Francisco.

The Tea Garden was a delight, and while I initially balked at the entrance fee, the garden was so meticulously manicured I could easily see how a good deal of money would be needed for it's up keep.

As you can see, it was clear and sunny while we were at the Tea Garden, but as we headed up to Golden Gate Bridge, that completely changed! When we arrived, not one speck of the massive bridge was visible, it was completely swallowed up by the fog.

I had to laugh as I watched other tourists proceed to take photos in front of the invisible bridge. Since we came to see Golden Gate, we decided to make the small trek down to Warming Hut, get a coffee by the window and keep an eye on the fog.

Eventually it started to clear, and we started to hike back up to a more ideal photo location. At about the midpoint the fog actually started to roll back in again, and by the time we'd made it all the way back to the start the bridge had once again disappeared!

I'm happy I was able to snap a few good photos while the fog was subsiding, I think it adds a bit of magic.
