Bay Bridge Cantilever Arches

The actual spot where the bridge collapsed in 1989. Driving over this segment is always a bit of a grim reminder of what danger is possible.
Bay Bridge Cantilever Arches by mrjoro.
The arches of the cantilevered section (the eastern expanse) of the Bay Bridge. Traffic heading from Oakland to San Francisco uses the top of the bridge--all the better to see the San Francisco skyline as you approach. Those going to Oakland are driving on the lower level. Since they have not built the new eastern expanse yet (which will have side-by-side traffic), it is a little bit scary to drive on the bottom section.

You know, looking back at this picture, I'm pretty surprised how sharp it turned out. Thank goodness for bright, sunny days.
