Golden Gate Bridge

I went to walk on Golden Gate Bridge on Sep 22, 2012.
It was sunny and not so windy and good for walking.
This is Golden Gate Bridge!














These three photos below were taken on Golden Gate bridge.
The first is San Francisco.














The second is part of Golden Gate Bridge.
I managed to get it on my camera lying on Golden Gate Bridge.
It was so tall and big!




















The last is a shadow of Golden Gate Bridge reflected on the surface of the water.
How is this photo?
I like this very much!

Mt. Shasta

I went to Mt.Shasta on Sep 6-8, 2012, instead of Yosemite, where Hanta virus problem occurred.
It took about for five hours from my room to Mt. Shasta.
So, not only my husband but also I drove a car in shifts.
On the way to Mt. Shasta, we made a stop at McArthur-Burney Falls.
This photo is McArthur-Burney Falls that I saw for the first time in America.














The next day, first we went around Lake Siskiyou near Mt. Shasta.
This photo was taken at the beach, one of some places to make a stop.
I think here was a place with a nice view.














Next, we visited the Springhead of Sacramento River, where is famous for water of Crystal Geyser.
I drank the water.
Water was very cold, fresh and tasted good!
I thought water of springhead was much better than bottled water.














Last, we went to the highest place to be able to go by car, called "Old Ski Bowl Vista Point".
The photo above was taken at way-stop called "Bunny Flat".
The photo below was taken at Old Ski Bowl Vista Point.
It seemed to be very close to the top of Mt. Shasta!
 

The last day, we made a stop at Lake Shasta Caverns on our way home.
We participated in one-hour tour, and we crossed Lake Shasta by boat.
After getting off the boat, we climbed a mountain by bus and reached the entrance of Lake Shasta Cacerns.
Once inside, it was very cold compared to outside air temperature.
And there were big and a lot of limestone.
We were very excited in the cavern!
The photo above is Lake Shasta and was taken at the cavern entrance.
The photo below was taken in the cavern.
