Hi everybody,
My name is Dana Pommet and my wife’s name is Josephine. I was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1942, and except for a tour in the Navy, lived there for most of my life. I retired to Delray Beach, Florida in December 2000. We love to travel and photography goes hand and hand with that. I went digital about 5 years ago and started posting November 22, 2008. I have met so many wonderful people on RR and that makes this whole process so much more interesting than just posting photos. Thanks for all the comments and keep them coming.
Update  January 2012: After hiding and denying my mild Dyslexia, for most of my professional life, and now fighting with its advancement – I want to thank you all for putting up with my poor typing skills and spelling problems. I know that my spell checker hates me and I now depend completely on audio books rather then actually reading printed books.  Life marches on!  ÂÂ

First, Happy Belated Birthday Dana! I hope you had the best birthday ever!. Sorry I missed it. I never knew of the fort either how cool! Spectacular shot. I love bridges this is my favorite just after the Brooklyn Bridge. Wonderful!

The bottom kind of reminds me of the Coliseum in Rome. :) Excellent composition and capture! :)

Well I've only driven over it a handful of times in my life, but had no idea there was a fort underneath it either! Super post Dana.

Great shot and great write up. Visited there ages ago. Very windy. Always wondered why one end of the bridge just ended and the other had this peculiar arch. No arch = no fort. Thus a valuable heritage site was preserved.

amazing view! great capture Dana and interesting info!

OMG, I never knew there was a fort beneath the bridge. It's never been mentioned in any of the articles or documentaries I've seen or read about in re the Golden Gate Bridge. Fantastic foto and information, Dana. I like the Erector Set construction at the top of the picture.

Wow, never heard of this-- thank you for the information and the photo. Your gallery is a good source of information (as well as Dana Jr's.) :-)

Well how about that. This shows a very different side of the Golden Gate Bridge. I'm glad it has the fort to guard it.
