Golden Gate Bridge

One of the few things that San Francisco is famous for besides the fog (LOL) is the Golden Gate Bridge. It is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific. Created in 1937, it has been declared one of the modern Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The Frommers travel guide considers the Golden Gate Bridge "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world"

San Francisco Bay Bridge

This shot was taken at San Francisco Perry Building while waiting to meet up with a friend. At the background was the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge (known locally as the Bay Bridge) located in the interstate 80 between San Francisco and Alameda Counties. Conceived in the Gold Rush Days, a bridge spanning the San Francisco Bay linking the cities of San Francisco and Oakland always seemed like an engineering and financial impossibility. The water separating the cities was too deep and wide. It opened for traffic in 1936, six months before the Golden Gate Bridge. Consist of two levels going east and westbound accordingly.
