Shainblum, who is known for his stunningastrophotography, recently took a photo that he once felt was impossible.

The Golden Gate Bridge has long been a muse for Shainblum and he’sphotographed it previouslyin extreme weather conditions.

But nothing prepared him for that evening on the San Francisco Bay.

Luckily, he was in the right spot when the perfect weather conditions made his dream a reality.

Having gone up there for the last nine years, countless times.

It was so cool to see a unique moment like this and spend the night gazing at the stars/fog.

Overall the evening was just such a great mix of photography and timelapse.

The end result is a beautiful cityscape where the Milky Way is clearly visible above the San Francisco Bay.

But this wasn’t the only incredible image that Shainblum captured that evening.

He also took the time to get creative with the Golden Gate Bridge and the fog.

These highly atmospheric images are a unique, artistic look at a well-worn piece of architecture.

The evening fog helped block light pollution from the city and let the Milky Way shine through.
