Once again we’ve seen this several times, but once again we can’t help ourselves. Go at sunset to get the best pictures as the lights of the mountain and bridge are on. Crowded with people all taking pictures but just take your time and you’ll get what you come for. A must see, along with other attractions in this busy city.
