Golden Gate Bridge

It’s in that pea soup somewhere. You just gotta imagine it’s there. For all I know the cars were just falling off the edge into bay.

This was the best view I got of the famous Golden Gate Bridge that spans the opening of the San Francisco bay to the ocean. Its construction was finished in 1937 and at the time was the longest suspension bridge in the world. The orange colour that I should have seen if there wasn’t the famous San Fran fog in the way was actually the original colour of the sealant, but it was decided that the bridge would look better staying orange rather than boring old steel grey and so a top coat of Internation Orange was applied.

I was really looking forward to seeing this landmark, but as luck would have it I didn’t get to. I went on a Sunday, catching the very easy 76 bus to Fort Point, and after being disappointed with the lack of view tried again the next day but the 76 doesn’t run so I had to change bus three times to get there just to be disappointed yet again.

Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
