Good Morning San Francisco and Welcome 2008!

I went to the Marin Headlands intending on just watching the sunrise and meditating on the new year. The sun went right thru the Golden Gate Bridge and I caught this shot on way out. My good friend calls these prism lens flares "spirit balls" and apparently there are a lot of folks out there that believe this to be true. I have noticed in prolonged time tripod interior photography that people can pass through and image with just a hint or not see them at all. I have wondered if perhaps there are things all around us that we just cant see because they go at different rate of speed.
