The Lord’s way of telling Sodom by the Bay, “SHAPE UP!”
Other than that, great picture.
As a California highway engineer, I spent 8 years of my career working on the bridge replacement’s various phases including the suspension portion pictured.
I even have the scars to prove it. Not physical scars, but the emotional scars of having to live in San Francisco for 8 years and the bay area for 12. You wouldn’t think that just living in a congested city for of rude, selfish opportunists would destroy you emotionally and mentally, but believe me, it took a real toll. I don’t see how any nice person can survive living there, and to be a conservative — well, I can say I nearly did not survive mentally.
It was awful. I wanted to stay on and finish the bridge, but San Franciscans are such horrible people, I had to escape the place before the bridge work is finished.

Wow, I hope people weren’t driving across it at the time.

Time lapse photography is fun. There is a classic picture of the Kitt Peak Observatory outside Tucson being hit by a couple dozen lightning strikes. The white domes of the various telescopes look ghostly, lit up against the dark background desert sky. There was no pretending that it was anything but a fairly long exposure, however.
To: Lorianne
WOW!! It kooks like 4 current strikes and 4 other strikes just a fraction of a second before. WOW!!
The folks driving on the bridge....did they notice anything unusual? Probably not, all they saw was bright flashes.

Wow. Kudos to the photographer. Ultimate kudos to God, because if He’s still warning us, He still loves us.
