"Golden Gate Suspension" ~ The two cables that gracefully suspend the bridge deck are 36.5 inches in diameter and measure 7,650 feet long between anchorages. Each cable weighs 11,000 tons. Notice the yellow light lenses. When the original 1937 fixtures were modernized in 1972, these lenses were designed to mimic the yellow glow of the old lamps.

"Ice Box Glow" ~ Glowing leaves of a tree against a backdrop of the sculptured rock faces of Ice Box Canyon near Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Desert Treescape" ~ Old tree near Ice Box Canyon area within Red Rock Canyon, near Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Desert Gold" ~ Desert Gold wildflowers with orange California Poppy wildflowers in the background, in Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Window Shopping" ~ Wedding dresses are uniquely displayed in the windows of a bridal shop in Union Square.  The building recently underwent a complete renovation that artfully preserved the original 1907 brick exterior by encapsulating it behind layers of translucent and frosted glass.  The building stands in striking contrast amongst the dark masonry buildings that surround it.  The reflection of a 12-story building completed in 1909 appears in the glass façade, presenting a distinct example of harmoniously blending modern architectural elements into San Francisco's cityscape that is filled with historic architecture.
"Victorian Escape" ~ Fire escapes embellish the façades of Victorian homes on Bush Street in San Francisco.
"Union Square Brilliance" ~ A view down vibrant Maiden Lane reveals posh retailers and luxury hotels with a bronze sculpture of the Goddess of Victory reigning over Union Square Park. The 90-foot monument was erected in 1903 to commemorate a Naval victory in the Spanish American War. It was one of the few structures in the area to survive the earthquake of 1906, after which Union Square was rebuilt and transformed into a shopping district.
