Golden Gate Christmas Glow - a photo on Flickriver

As the sun begins makes it's way over the Santa Cruz mountains to the East, contrasting colors begin to make their debut on San Francisco Bay.

My 12-year old daughter felt relatively comfortable that Santa was past this point on Christmas morning. And though, I thought we had moved past that about two years ago, there was still a bit of hope that we might catch a glimpse of the sleigh in the sky.

We've moved away from gifts and toward experiences at the holidays...and, I hope seeing sunrise dawn at the Golden Gate Bridge will be an experience she will one day look back on with great affection.
