Every Tuesday, step by step, I’m walking with my readers from A to Z, last week we had the “FFF”-challenge, so this week we’ll take “G” – I’m sure you’ll also find a a photo, a story or a music title tagged with “G”! Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “G”!!! Myself I’ll visualize the “Golden Gate Bridge”:

Hi there Frizz. Golden Gate Bridge is also one of our favourite photography subjects. San Francisco is a lovely city. My G contribution this week consists of pictures taken by my 11 year old daughter of our Gardens by the Bay here in Singapore. Here’s the link:

With all due respect to “G,” the San Francisco Bay area is fortunate to be able to boast of two fabulous bridges. The other is the Bay Bridge which now has an unusual light show to offer every night through March 2015. Well, that might be “G” as well, if you’re inclined to call it “good,” as I am. This public works project is supported by the wealth of the tech industry in this area …
Bravo on another great post, Frizz.
