Our hardest task was finding the parking lot and visitors center at the south end of the bridge.

Each dot in the end of that cross-cut section is about .8 cm or 1/4". That cable is about 60 cm ( 2 feet) in diameter.

As I said, we thought it would be warmer. I wore my 'capri' length pants and sport sandals. When we got out of the car to make our hike we deciced it was very cool in that north-west wind. So I put on my socks and shoes, jacket and cap. Very California-like style don't ya think ?

In her layered jackets, shows the size of the vertical cables that suspend the bridge. Behind her is the island Alcatraz and an ocean-going ship.

This toilet had a fancy live flower, very pretty at the wash basins. Self portrait by Don. Inside the Legion of Honor Gallery. Here we viewed a very exculsive collection of French Jewelry - million dollar necklaces , etc. Could not photograph. But we did some of the paintings and other art works

Self Portrait in the Washroom
I like that one. I imagine the flower's essence was an improvement on that of some other self-portraits taken in this room that you have perhaps chosen to not share with us. :)
