Thousands of automobile and bus commuters cross this line via the Golden Gate Bridge every day. Others choose to walk or ride bicycles.


Crossing southward into San Francisco


Crossing northward into Marin County


Looking south. Views of Sutro Tower are nearly ubiquitous in and around San Francisco.

Hi Java -

Nice to see the Golden Gate! As for Sutro Tower, it certainly is ubiquitous - and also makes a good lightning rod for the few thunder storms in the city. I've not personally seen it strike, but it must be an awe inspiring sight!

Diane and Delta:

Although the county line is a political rather than physical entity, it does offer a fine ruse for continuing this discussion. The line passes through parts of the edge of Angel Island.


Here, we are looking through the Christmas display, across the county line, and over to San Francisco and the Bay Bridge in December, 2004.

The county line also runs to the west along the edge of the Marin Headlands and to the east right next to Red Rock Island, near the Richmond Bridge.

More bridge perspectives:

A maintenence worker's view of the Marin side. Wow!


A typical summer afternoon view of SF from Marin. The rolling fog usually means it's very hot inland - or even in Marin Co.


The beautiful Golden Gate at night, looking at SF. There's Sutro Tower again in the background.

(I'm making myself homesick. )
