I know this shot has been taken countless times. The image has been permanently stamped into our minds.
However, when you stand there in the shadow of these massive granite pillars, amongst the spider web of steel cables, listening to the traffic fly by a level below, you can’t help but feel a sense of awe.
This thing was built well over a century ago, and with little to no help it has withstood not only the test of time but also some of the harshest carriage, foot, and now motor vehicle traffic anywhere in the world. Take a moment and think about the engineering and brute labor that went into making this iconic crossing a reality.
Humanity has proven, time and time again, that the impossible is within reach.
