SEP 1, 19 .. VLADIVOSTOK .. THE GOLDEN (HORN) BRIDGE

Yesterday, Saturday the 31st of August, the sun finally came out after almost a week of rain and grey skies here in Vladivostok.

While-the-sun-shone, my friends here in Vladivostok took me out to do some serious sight-seeing. We really covered some ground!

After a six or so hour tour of the city, I'd snapped three hundred (300) ninety (90) three (3) photographs. Of course many are duplicates as I 'bracket' a lot of scenes with differing light and shutter speed settings. All of this being said, I now have the daunting task of sorting through three hundred and ninety three (393) photos.

This I know : It'll be just one photo at a time to review and I don't have to complete the task in this post today.

I'll begin with photos taken overlooking Vladivostok as viewed from several of the foremost viewing points high above the city.

You've already seen the below night photos but I am including them again so you can more easily compare the night and day scenes.

Below we are viewing the Golden Horn Bridge and Bay at night. 

The bridge is properly called the Golden Bridge (ЗОЛОТОЙ МОСТ) that spans the Golden Horn Bay (БУХТА ЗОЛОТОЙ РОГ).



Below we see the above views in the light of day.



Below we are looking to the left from the above views.




While the above scenes are still fresh-in-your-minds, I am going to show you several entirely different views of the Golden Horn Bridge and Bay.




I was not kidding when I said we really covered some ground!



Notice the bridge behind the church in the below photos.



Photos taken while crossing the bridge.





Several more different views of the bridge.




I feel that I could stop here. 

Re title this post as :

The Golden Bridge (ЗОЛОТОЙ МОСТ) and the Golden Horn Bay (БУХТА ЗОЛОТОЙ РОГ).

And press PUBLISH. However, I am not going to do it (yet).

Now we are going to go to another viewing point and see several different views down upon Vladivostok.

The next set of six photos 'pan to the right'.






And several more from yet another viewing point.




And while I am still standing, I am going to call this a 'wrap' and publish it.

Post Script : There are two other bridges here in Vladivostok. The below link will provide information on all three bridges.

  1. Lots of water surrounding Vladivostok .. I like being near water! SO good that you were able to get daytime pictures of what you only had pictures of at night previously. I can also see in these pictures what you had told me were hillside areas. Nice. Great views. Smiles and hugs. Patti

    1. Thank You My Dear One for your comment. As you can see, on a clear day Vladivostok is sure an attractive city. I am so very pleased that I was able to visit. I lucked out when the skies cleared. At one time I feared that I would not be able to get the daytime photos from the viewing areas above the city because of the dark grey and sometimes foggy days. It all worked out. Much Love .. Cap
