The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco's renowned iconic symbol, is an engineering feat, spanning 1.7 miles and reaching 220 feet above the San Francisco Bay. Great Big Canvas has an amazing collection featuring this great big bridge! Its magnitude dwarfs the ships and automobiles below.
It is hard to imagine that prior to construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, the only means of crossing the Bay was by ferry. But after its construction until 1964, it was the longest bridge-span on earth. Even today it remains in the top ten. Its splendid art deco structure with its International Red color makes the bridge a premier California landmark and attracts thousands of artists and photographers annually. Now you can find the perfect image of Golden Gate Bridge at Great Big Canvas, images that continue to capture the vision that its builder, Joseph Strauss, had when he began its construction in 1933.
