Original – The Golden Gate Bridge at a foggy sunset.Fog over Golden Gate Bridge is world famous. The fog of
San Francisco Bay is a specific type of
fog. It is a sea fog identified as advection fog, which is characterized by the lateral transfer of temperature by wind blowing over cooler water.Coastal areas having
Mediterranean climates, such as that of San Francisco, have especially frequent sea fog blowing off the ocean to just a few miles inland. This San Francisco fog was taken into account during construction of
Golden Gate Bridge. At one point experts doubt the bridge could be built there at all. They said that ferocious winds and blinding fogs would prevent construction and operation. Fog also played a role in choosing the color of the bridge, and red color was chosen because red color enhances the bridge's visibility in fog. The sky colors are due to

Midspan navigation lighting that is used by passing vessels contains eight vertical lights, four on each side. They are located at the center of the Bridge just below the deck. The top three lights are white, and the bottom light is green.
Reason
Rather impressive picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. Good EV.
The picture you provided is not a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, it just happened to be in the picture while the photographer was taking pictures of the suns rays (according to the description of the photo). If you will also note, the picture does not appear on
Golden Gate Bridge.
You are right, and with the nominator permission I hope I added the image you asked about as alt1. I believe this image might be even better because both towers of the bridge are in the image. The caption is still the same. I only took off mention of Belt of Venus.--

Actually, the Alt you provided is a little more appealing. Since it is a picture of the the entire bridge, it provides more EV then the original. Thanks for providing the alt.

Comment I believe the image has EV. As I explained in the caption fog played a role in the construction of the Bridge. This image shows the color of the bridge, the current FP does not.

Comment reply The caption here may explain the EV, but it's not explained in the article. If you make the EV in the article be higher then I'll reconsider my vote. However, there also appears to be compression noise in this photo and even a better EV in the article wouldn't overcome that problem.

Oppose Contrary to claims made here, I don't feel the image is educational about advection fog, therefore the addition to the caption does nothing to lift the image above earlier criticism.
