A World-Famous View: Photo Of The Day

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Painted "International Orange" with Art Deco style, the world-renowned Golden Gate Bridge is as "Bay Area" as it gets.

The iconic span never takes a bad photo either, as evidenced in this lovely shot snapped by Patch reader Gina T.

Spend a few minutes to reacquaint yourself with bridge history — how it got its "Golden" name, what was the "Halfway-to-Hell Club," how long construction took and more facts and trivia here.

Thanks for sharing, Gina!
