Fishing at Baker Beach
Baker Beach is a part of the ocean located in San Francisco County, California. It is most popular for fishing Barred surfperch, Striped bass, and Rubberlip seaperch. A fisherman is trying his luck on a cloudy, stormy evening against the Golden Gate Bridge.

Foggy Day at Baker Beach
After photographing the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California, from various locations, we ventured to Baker Beach on a foggy evening.
Baker Beach, located in San Francisco’s Presidio, is a scenic, mile-long beach famous for its stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. While it’s a popular spot for photography, the foggy weather makes it challenging.

Red Bridge at the Gardens
Now away from flowers, the iconic Meyer Bridge, which is located over the large pond in the Culberson Asiatic Arboretum, is one of the most well-known features of the Sarah P. Duke Gardens and is often a favorite spot for visitors to pause for photos and gaze at the beauty around them.
The distinctive red color of the bridge is authentically aligned with the hue of a traditional red bridge in Japan. Garden bridges in Japanese gardens have both a symbolic and a practical meaning. Bridges symbolize traveling and transition, and inspire mindfulness as one takes steps–literally and figuratively–to cross.

Walker Covered Bridge at Hart Square
Walker Covered Bridge was moved to Hart Square and restored in 1999. It is the least historic of all the structures at Hart Square. This 17-year-old covered bridge provides a unique walkway from the main ‘street’ across the dam to the Chapel of Peace. The window provides a view of the other side of the Upper Lake.

Covered Bridge to the Chapel
The Walker Covered Bridge at Hart Square leads to the Chapel of Peace.
Most of America’s covered bridges were built between 1825 and 1875. By the 1870s, most bridges were covered at the time of construction. The original reason for the cover was to protect the bridge’s trusses and decks from snow and rain, preventing decay and rot.
