<br>From a distance, I saw it. 
<br>**The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.**
<br>It was one of the rare occasions when I got to travel to the United States.
I dropped by San Francisco for just a night and I arrived in a late evening.
<br>My relative who was staying there, drove me around the city for a night's tour as soon as he picked me up.
Back then, I only had my faithful Sony Ericsson K800i handy.
<br>I was tired from the flight and took a nap in the car. 
When I awoke, I saw this view:

<br>It was the beginning of a bridge but I wasn't sure which bridge was this.
<br>I tried to capture more shots but my hands were shaky in a driven car:

<br>I was brought to the [Fort Point](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Point,_San_Francisco) for a view of the [Golden Gate Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_Bridge) but my camera and my hands were not in sync for a clear shot:

<br>I was also given a quick tour to the [Palace of Fine Arts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Fine_Arts):

<br>.. for a remarkable view of the bridge in a wider perspective:
