California - San Francisco - Battery Spencer

A few shots from some of the lookouts overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.

The fence in the foreground is full of "lovelocks" placed there by lovers to symbolize their unbreakable love.

Battery Spencer was a military installation put in place to protect from a possible attack from Confederate forces during the civil war. 

A great view of the non-stop traffic coming across the bridge.  The Golden Gate Bridge is a toll bridge but you only pay on the way into San Francisco.  A license plate scanner records your plate number and you have a few days to make payment.  I phoned their office and was pleased to find out that out of country plates are exempt.
