    @mr_dude: I was being serious - did you think I was being sarcastic? I think it's a great shot... excellent composition, and check out all the lighting variances on the superstructure. Really dramatic shot. #goldengatebridge

    @HoonThatFerrari: It started as a statement and ended as a suggestion.

    The composition makes me fall out of my chair, bridge is getting its lean on, making me think Tacoma Narrows.

    The red filter certainly creates the bridge/sky contrast, but those shadows are nasty - and it's not like the Bay Area lacks days with even lighting. #goldengatebridge

    @mr_dude: Ah, OK... I see where yer goin' ;)

    As far as the shadows go, that's part of what I like! Yeah, it's drastic differences from one extreme to the other... on the near tower itself, on the upper part of the sky vs the cables... but IMO that's one of the things that B&W really conveys best. To me (apart from the couple of degrees-tilt to the left, which annoys me somewhat) this is one of those great, iconic B&W images that you get a certain sense of scale out of that simply doesn't convey the same way in anykindachrome. #goldengatebridge

    Speaking of Life, Google Books now has a virtually complete archive of scanned Life magazines from 1936 through 1972 (the last year as a weekly). An absolutely wonderful resource.

    [books.google.com]

    I can only hope that we'll see Road & Track and Car and Driver archives soon in Google Books. #goldengatebridge

    Having grown up in the shadow of the Mackinac Bridge, when I first saw the Golden Gate Bridge in person my reaction was just ... meh. But I do agree that the Golden Gate was an architectural/engineering achievement at the time. #goldengatebridge

    What an awesome bridge. I have a friend on another car forum that had the chance to go up to the top. The view from up there is breathtaking. I wish I was at home so I could post some of my own shots... among other reasons... #goldengatebridge

    I love watching documentaries about old-school bridge building. The workers in the dark, muddy, pressurized caissons (deep below the pillars, underwater) were about as bold as a human being can get. #goldengatebridge

    Still achingly beautiful, and a stunning achievement. Those art deco roadway lamps are just killer. They fit perfectly with all the other riveted plate details. #goldengatebridge

    Don't be fooled! This is just another way for Google to determine what places people are interested in so they can further their grip on society. I am still convinced the Battle of Armageddon will be fought between Google and Starbucks for total domination of the earth.


    Google, don't be evil.

    @bertone77*GOLD* Subscriber: But that one's actually about the driving experience. Crossing the Golden Gate is about being a tourist and going "Ooooh! Ahhh!" for a few minutes. There isn't any substitute for actually going out for some corner-carving.


    That's also my excuse for why I suck at driving video games.
