The Golden Gate Bridge was barely visible in this dense morning fog. From a cliff overlooking the bay, the pillar was visible as well as a misty outline of the San Francisco skyline.

Built in 1933, the bridge was completed 5 years later in 1937. It is a part of US Highway 101 and State Route 1, and is the only road to exit San Francisco to the north.

A bit of trivia: The suspension bridge is 8,981 feet in length and is 200+ feet above the water. It has a total of approximately 1.2 million rivets holding it together.

Another view of the bridge:

    I don’t think I will ever be tired of seeing photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s by far my favorite land mark. I love how this turned out. The softness of the city behind is very nice. Great contrast.

    No, Trudi, I was on a cliff overlooking the bay when I took this shot. We had stayed in a hotel room on the north side of the bay so although it was foggy that morning, we did not have to drive over the bridge.
