hahaha I thought that was 'cannabis' in the foreground at first. Hey, I consider you lucky because I live near here too (maybe we've met) and every time I go to the Golden Gate HOPING for a fog shot, there never is any! now THAT is unlucky. Fantastic colors here, especially considering the foggyness and a nice fit for the challenge :)
Heheheh, isn't it always that way when you travel! Nice sharp, colorful composition. While a nice contrast to the red bridge and bldg, I'd have composed with a lot less of the green in the foreground, especially to get rid of the little triangle of dirt in the bottom left.
Haven't we all been there and done that! I traveled from Australia to Italy only to find the leaning tower of Pisa was covered in scaffolding that was to be removed the week after I was there. Great "unlucky" shot.
