About three years ago, I saw an image of the fog rolling over the Golden Gate Bridge. Ever since then, I was determined not only to capture this amazing scene but to witness it for myself. I live about fifty miles away from San Francisco. For two years, I monitored the weather and traveled to the Golden Gate Bridge in my desperate attempt to capture this beautiful scene that only seems to occur a few times a year. Most of the time, I dealt with numerous obstacles like: the fog was either too thick or too thin; I missed the sunrise or sunset due to commuter traffic; there were heavy winds; there were road closures; there were cruise ships and cargo ships in your shot; and everything else you can think of. Despite these obstacles, I would scout out compositions so when the conditions were right I would be ready. In January 2011, the fog finally came! I was not going to miss this epic shot. So, I took every opportunity to drive to San Francisco, which meant five sunrises in a row. I estimate that I drove to the Golden Gate Bridge approximately 30-40 times in three years. Javier Acosta
