Underneath the Golden Gate Bridge, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
With the top floor deck of Fort Point repaired and open to the public, it’s now possible to worm one’s way out on a fortified tower that sits directly under the Golden Gate Bridge.
On a recent clear, windy, and cold day I explored the place with Julian and Nicky (who have a love of all things fortress and castle).
The underparts of the Golden Gate Bridge span looked like a giant erector set. I used a wide angle lens fully stopped-down for maximum depth of field to get both the “erector set” girders and the distant parts of the bridge in focus.
