Description
The Bay Bridge connects San Francisco and Oakland. That's Yerba Buena Island in the middle. At one time there was a train called the Key System on the lower level. It ceased service in 1958 and was removed to make room for more cars. Now, of course, people would LOVE to have that train back to get OUT Of their cars.

Nice aerial capture Marilyn. yep now we want the trains back here too after they ripped up all the rails to many places. They took out rail yards and built buildings where these were because it was "prime" Real estate.. No for thought except for the easy quick money. this happened not 500 metres from where I sit now..

What a fantastic aerial shot! I am so jealous. I read that someday, hopefully before we all die, they will be replacing all of this with a new, more eathquake resistant, span.

Excellent shot! As many times as I've driven across it I never really realized how big the L-curve is at the island. Your pilot gave you a great aerial tour of the city!

In regards to Marks comment, in the full view you can see that new more earthquake resistant bridge being built. It is the whiter bridge that the barge and crane are next to. Outstanding image! An instant fav!

People need to pay you to fly and take pictures of stuff! For as much as you love the ocean, I think the air might be your element too; you have such an instinctive knack for catching just the right view (or getting the perfect window seat that gives you the perfect view.) And I have to say that you'd love flying over Prague. That city is amazing from the air and the Vltava River does some interesting things! But back to this shot: WOW! You capture so much here, so many wonderful details. Everything seems so perfectly orchestrated, right down to the wakes of ferries. I love the details in this! And your choice of black and white really brings those details out, especially that nice haze. At least I hope it's nice haze and not car farts. This is a perfect image!
