Our neighbors up north (Seattle and Portland) have been experiencing HOT weather in the upper 90s and 106 for Portland yesterday according to the news, our little bay area region is around 10 degrees below normal temps, cool and breezy.
This picture was taken on Memorial Day of 2009, but I thought it was a good example of what I see on my commute to and from work every day.
Would you like to hazard a guess as to what span is featured in the background covered in our famous fog?

The heat went up north. Our temp here has gone down from 100 deg. to the high 80's.
Was that the Golden Gate Bridge?
Hmmm...that looks like the Golden Gate Bridge right there. Am I correct? That's a superb silvery shot of the water!
Wow you are early for skywatch...lol. It is a beautiful scenery despite the foggy weather. Was there a bridge behind the fog?
The fog has its own attractiveness!
Great silvery composition if ever i saw one.
The fogged in bridge makes a fine background for the sailboats. The choppy water gives the impression of considerable wind. Fine shot.
i don't mind the fog, it's a beautiful backdrop for the boats and the silvery sea.
i'm glad it's hot in Seattle, will be there next week. so i don't need to bring a jacket?:P
Is it the Golden Gate?! Very cool. Definitely foggy there. What an amazing commute!
I love this shots. So romantic with the sparkling water, fog, and sailboats. Like others I'm guessing the golden gate bridge. Happy weekend!
Beautiful shot!!
The aprkling water is gorgeous and I'm guessing The Golden Gate bridge too.
Have a great friday!

I love this silvery image!
The water just glistens with the sun. Lovely shot!
The silver shimmering light is amazing.
Great picture, the sun reflecting on the water, the boats at the horizon, and a foggy(?) sky.
Even shrouded in fog the Golden Gate Bride is wonderful. I love the shimmer you have captured on the water.
Oh, I love this! The sparkling sun on the water and the sailboats...they are so tiny in the grand scheme of things. Beautiful color, too!
Lovely shot though, I like the contrast of the sun on the sea-with the sea fog over the bridge. Thanks for sharing:)
I have been there, seen the fog (even bought a T-shirt) - and lost a whole roll of film exposed on a day the fog wasn't there and the span was visible in all its beauty :-(
It's like a pot of boiling silver. Glittering and sparkling - wonderful and unique
Looks cool enough to chill those in the Northwest. We went there to be cool and found it cooler here in Sacramento, go figure.
Beautiful light over the bay. Lovely commute to work!

Hehehe, my post is also the views of my daily commute. Aren't we just enjoying the sights and sounds? Have a great weekend.
What a beautiful silver light over the ocean! What a privilege to see this beauty every day. Great photo!
Thanks my dear for your nice comment on my Skywatch today.
I love the glitter of the water opposing the misty sky. Sure lots of sailboats so early in the AM!

Everyone is guessing The Golden Gate... my daughter was just there last week! It was very foggy!
so, I'll have to ditto that :)

I like the contrast of the choppy water with the smooth fog. The sails kind of look like glass, very pretty image.
The fog makes the water appear silvery here. Nice photo!
Silver splendour
This is really beautiful. Tone on tone on tone of silver and gray. With the barely perceptible bridge span in the back. Great!
You get a great view on your commute to work..fog or not...
I've no idea what bridge lies beyond...
Great view for a commute even with the fog, you did manage to capture a lot of the play of light across the water. Looks great!
That is a fabulous shot of the sail boats with the foggy back drop hiding what appears to be, yes I'm sure is, the world renowned 'Golden Gate Bridge'. It does like to hide in the infamous San Fran. fog...
Great photo...I love the sparkling water...I would love to have this commute...
How the sailboats look minute floating on the silver sea riding about the fog and the shrouded bridge. A captivating photo of your place.
Sailing on a silver sea. It looks so nice!
PC: The Golden Gate in a foggy sky, love all the sailboats underway.
Very lovely snap. The water looks silvery because of the beautiful sky.
The water look as though there are millions of diamonds sparkling at the same time :)
Beautiful seascape, almost like a B&W picture.
Love the backlighting glitters and waves.
I love the silvery sparkles on the surface of the water. Great photo effect here.
(Newlyweds had only one day honeymoon due to the workload of the groom. However, there is a big holiday coming for them to make up for that.)
Oh I love this piccie, it's like molten silver, just beautiful and what a commute you have.
Very beautiful picture, with that attractive silvery atmosphere. I enjoy it very much!
About Joy, unfortunately I'm still not able to visit Norwich Daily Photo; IE gives me the message: "Impossible to display the web page". Please, if by chance in the next days you have news from Joy tell me.
i can imagine the heat. that's what mostly my friends out there are whinning about. one state even does not sell AC anymore coz out of stock.
your picture here is great! i love the shimmering heat reflected on the sea water. :)
thanks for the visit. re: pink building - that's the main catholic church of our city.
Beautiful and tranquil.
Oh...that is a perfect shot of our wonderful bay and bridge. Looks like it was perfect weather for the sailors, too...
beautifully composed and shot
Wow - this looks like a painting. Love the silverish tint.
So it's the Golden Gate? I wouldn't have guessed if I hadn't read the other comments! It's a fascinating picture! Thanks for sharing and your visit to my blog!
Worth going to work when you can admire a view like that! Great capture.
Really nice shot!
Stunning view. You are experiencing some heat wave out there...
My SWF

Dreamy, dreamy, dreamy.
Lovely shot.
