The Golden Gate Bridge is a beautiful steel structure cutting across the sky over San Francisco Bay. Although I’ve lived there and traversed the Golden Gate my entire life, it’s magnificent every time I see it. The stark orange vermilion color seems to both draw your eye and blend in with the surrounding environment. A modern beauty that complements its natural surroundings.
