Happy Birthday, Baby

The Golden Gate Bridge is 70 years old. "Take me to the bridge..."

Photo by Eric Bergeson



Here's what it looked like being built, in 1936

Amazing photo; with my fear of heights, there's just noooo way!

This was truly a construction feat; I've seen a photo somewhere of the cofferdams they built to set the uprights.

A bit over 30 years ago now I sailed under her on the "Ranger"; wish I'd taken a camera!
