Sundays In My City:The Golden Gate Bridge Turns 75

View-of-Golden-Gate-Bridge copy

 

On-the-Golden-Gate-BridgeThe Golden Gate Bridge, one of the world’s most photogenic bridges, celebrates its 75th anniversary this Sunday, May 27th. There will be fireworks and a waterfront festival.

I love this bridge. It’s beautiful, functional, and a true icon.

Happy birthday and many, many more!!!

    Happy Birthday to the Golden Gate Bridge. I saw that bridge from my in-laws huge window in the Berkeley hills and I was in San Francisco as often as possible while I lived in northern California. Great photos.

    I love these kinds of American “icons” that with just a “glimpse” identify a place.

    Empire State Building
    The S. L Arch

    Hope you can get a few firework shots.  It’s always good to know of things older than me.  Now I can always say well I’m not as old as the SF bridge.

    Happy 75th to the bridge. I crossed it once. Well, twice because we came back after visiting wine country.

    Your pictures are amazing!  Did you use photoshop??  Love them, love the bridge and you, too (I think it’s my third time here, just catching up now that school is out and I’m not teaching for the summer!!)
