I brought my camera on my run today, and timed it so I'd be at a certain spot when the QM2 made her entrance. (This spot, with a nice view of the Golden Gate, is the same spot where The Bridge movie was filmed.) Thar she blows!

Queen Mary 2
Never have I seen my main running trail as crowded as it was today. Another big foot race? No, it was masses of spectators waiting to see a ship come into San Francisco Bay. This was no ordinary ship: The Queen Mary 2 is the largest ship to ever sail under the Golden Gate Bridge and into the bay. Timing her entrance at low tide, there was still just 30 vertical feet between the top of the ship and the underside of the bridge. The sailing was smooth.

Nice pix. Looks like you were a little closer to the bridge than us ... love the perspective of The Queen right under the bridge!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and your comment. Yes I was at Land's End with a gazillion other people.
It was so hazy it was hard to get a decent picture.
Hello Free Thinker :)
Thank you for coming by my blog this morning, and leaving me such a kind comment. Your photos are wonderful! I wanted to be over at Chrissy Field or Ft Point, but alas it was not to be.
I love the series of photos you posted. All fabulous angles. :) I hope you will consider coming by my blog again sometime, I enjoy meeting fellow shutterbugs from the Bay Area. Have an excellent week.
Always, Carly

Wow, great pics! Thanks for dropping by!
Came here from Photowannabe. Wish I could have been there. A shame she didnt come up to Vancouver BC.
Love the bridge pics. All the smaller crafts make it seem like a celebratory welcome commitee.

Greetings of peace,
Wonderful photos!
I wish I could've made it out to see it in person too!
Warmly,
Baraka
It was a festive event, I can see that quite clearly in your photos.
Freethinker - mind if I update my post on this and link across to you?
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I truly thought that no-one else read it.
Great shots from Chrissy Field. It took us 3/4 hr to travel from the zoo to the windmill!
But oh so worth it.
Can I swipe your shot going under the bridge for my journal,please?
USA 4 Steve Bodner ~ Yes, I'm lucky to live in such a scenic area.
TP ~ I climbed halfway up the hill from Fort Point to get this perspective.
Photowannabe ~ At least it was not raining or foggy!
Carly ~ Although the photos seem to be from different angles, I was in the same place taking all the shots. Only the QM2 was moving -- like a model down the catwalk!
Cameravox ~ I like your photos, and your captions, too!
Default Attorney ~ Glad you liked the "exhibits!"
Susan ~ Ah, Vancouver. There are many photo opportunities in your city, too!
Baraka ~ Smooth sailing back at'cha!
Annie ~ Was it ever festive! I saw surprised so many people abandoned the Super Bowl to come see the QM2.
James Higham ~ Please, feel free to link to me from your post. Thanks for asking.
Jewels ~ If you put a hit counter on your blog, you may be surprised at the number of your readers! Yes, you may "swipe" my shot -- attribution would be appreciated.
i am so envious. your photos are stunning. btw, thanks for visiting ;) i will come back here again and again.
I saw you somewhere up on that hill. What an amazing day. Your shots are spectacular. What a day to remember! Thank you for your comment at my blog, much appreciated.
Truly,
Zabrina
Gorgeous pics there, Freethinker. My friend who lives in SF told me the QE2 was there and how they went to Pacific Heights to watch it come in.
Thanks for your good health wishes! I'm on the mend, slowly.
Cheers,
AM
