Heading Out the Golden Gate

[Chris Hansen]

Yesterday a container ship the Albert Rickmers was outbound from San Fransisco through the "Golden Gate" and past the Pt. Reyes Lighthouse amid the rain clouds. I don't get down to the big city very often so when I do I make sure to bring my camera. The lighthouse was built in 1870 and was finally decommisioned in 1975 and is now part of Pt. Reyes National Seashore.

God bless,

Hi Chris, nice image with the clouds. Btw, I belive that's Pt Bonita Lighthouse.

Very nice Chris, the light house is Point Bonita, Point Reyes light house is some 42 miles to the north west and cannot be seen from here. Containers go empty to China and return full with goods to fill Walmart :D

I appreciate the geography lesson guys. I guess I had better look at a map next time! So the new caption is

The lighthouse was built in 1855 it was too high up in the fog and was relocated down lower to its present postion in 1877. The lighthouse is in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Thanks and God bless,
