What a beautiful bridge! I really want to go & visit the GGB one day...
(Look at all that fog! You can't even see the tower right ahead of you when you're driving!) |

Amazing, it has to be the color (International Orange) which make it so attractive to the human eye.

I agree the color really makes it that much better. Hope they never attempt to change it for some odd reason.
And it has good history. They built it during the great depression when they lacked funds AND they were already building the bay bridge AND the area they built it in has high speed winds and strong ocean currents. Not only that but the engineer brought innovations with the bridge like the hard hat. Last edited by djm19; March 6th, 2005 at 09:58 AM. |

Sailing by the South Tower
The Golden Gate Bridge is beautiful but beware the waters between the shore and the south tower. The following pictures taken by photographer Wayne Lambright of San Francisco are from the Latitude 38 website:
