Description Day 10 of 10 of ocean/seascape photography to commemorate the end of summer! We've reached the end!

This is San Francisco Bay in California. The Golden Gate Bridge (really more of a weird, off-saturated red than gold...) marks where the San Francisco Bay leads into the Pacific Ocean. This particular shot was taken at where pretty much where every other tourist takes their pictures of the bridge, as a lot of tour buses just unload them here en masse for ten minutes before rushing off to their next destination. Everyone wants a picture with yellow muggy skies and brown sooty water! Alas I had to up the blue and aqua on this photo through Lightroom quite a bit just so it wouldn't look like I took a photo out of a sewage plant...the bridge remains as it were though, a very strange red that is neither gold, orange, nor red-red. Good ol' USA!

It hella isn't a sewage plant! That means it is a vegetable, and this is not a vegetable. It is Bay Area yo yo! And that is totes gold. Look at it... Gold. And blue water. This picture proves it! So pretty! What a way to end the seascapes! Woo woo! But really, good job making this not look like the pukepile it is...

It totes is a vegetable! Sooo tasty it is! Have you eaten enough vegetables? One bite of this, and you will have no choice but to join the Legion of Thighsters! So convincingly au natural and free of polar bear liver it is! Get your vegetables today! 

Huhu pukepiles galore! Up north, down south...at least so far no floating used diapers have been spotted up there yet unlike down here...huhu...y'all come on down for some fresh doodiepiles! Totes not made by me...what's that? Black Plague? What is the meaning of this?! Tis all flowing down from the Northern Armpit Temple!

Thanks! That said, the before and after editing is almost appalling to look at XD...I almost feel bad since all the other countries I featured had these naturally beautiful skies and water (at least till you looked up close ) that required minimal editing, but then my home state sadly needed quite a makeover! I'm kinda happy with the fake postcardy look though haha!

Hahaha, well sometimes you have to enhance things just a tiny bit right?

A "tiny bit" might be an over-exaggeration here, but it sure beats having brown skies and waters! XD
