This composite picture was designed and created by Luming Marr on October 19, 2007. Photo Credits: The background is the Golden Gate Bridge, which connects San Francisco Peninsula and Marin County to the north and is rated Number one San Francisco tourist attraction and is a visitor attraction recognized around the world. The GGB opened to vehicular traffic on May 28, 1937 at twelve o'clock noon, ahead of schedule and under budget, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a telegraph key in the White House announcing the event. The Golden Gate Bridge's 4,200 foot long main suspension span was a world record that stood for 27 years. This picture was taken on board of a tour bus during the year 2007 Labor Day weekend on a Muir Redwood Forest and Sonoma & Napa Valley Wine Country tour. The playground sand and the two whales, the snail and the sea star cement playing objects are photographed in the children's playground of the Vincent Lugo Park in San Gabriel City, Los Angeles County in Southern California. The wooden model car was a Christmas gift from an old friend who used to be in the international trading business and imported general merchandise from China to the United States. The driver inside the car is a toy head from the lovely little daughter of a relative of one of the relatives. The figurines: Homer Simpson cartoon figure was won from a claw machine in a local shopping mall. Bugs Bunny, the Happy Rabbit who is arguably the most popular and recognizable cartoon character of all time; Dilbert, the main cartoon character in Scott Adams daily Dilbert comic strips; and Patrick Star, which is a fictional character, voiced by Bill Fagerbakke, in the Nickelodeon TV cartoon series SpongeBob SquarePants; were bought many years ago. Image of the smiling face on the car door is a free souvenir button from a fair or a festival quite a while ago. The button shows three different facial expressions -- happy, exulted and angry -- depending what angle you look at it. Good graphic design concept and calendar publishing idea example. Good Photoshop photography course textbook supplemental reference and practice picture material. President George W. Bush (the 43rd President) Talking Action Figure was hand crafted and made in China. Please note the event depicted in the picture and the caption did not really happen in the way as shown. Bush biographical facts: President George W. Bush won the second term victory on November 3, 2004 after a tumultuous night of vote counting and a gracious concession by the Democrat challenger John F. Kerry, and he pledged that he would seek to earn the trust of those who did not back him during the long, contentious campaign. Nearly 120 million Americans voted, or about 60 percent of those eligible, the highest number since 1968, according to the Associated Press. On that night, President Bush spoke to jubilant supporters at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington D.C., America has spoken, as he claimed a second term and appealed to voters " even those who opposed him " to back his agenda, "To make this nation stronger and better, I will need your support, and I will work to earn it. I will do all I can do to deserve your trust. A new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation."
