A few from last night's celebration of the 75th anniversary of our little orange bridge. In case you're wondering about the vantage point, these were taken from the west side of the bridge a short hike from Fort Miley toward Baker Beach.

Thanks for the kind words, David and lemonlime. Yes, I used tripods. These are at exposures of about 4 seconds, so tripods were pretty much mandatory.

The third and last for me. Fantastic work. I quite hard to photograph fireworks and get the type of exposure you did. Good job !!
