Vincent Thomas Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

This was the view from the back of our Cruise Ship as we departed San Pedro Harbour, Los Angeles on a 3 night cruise to Ensenada, Mexico. Exposure: 30mm, 1/50 sec @ f/2.4, ISO400 on the back of a moving, vibrating ship.

I enjoy it best large on black

Some notes on the bridge from www.sanpedrochamber.com/champint/vtbrdg.htm :

Completed in 1963, "San Pedro's Golden Gate" was the first bridge of its kind to be constructed on pilings. Construction required 92,000 tons of Portland cement, 13,000 tons of lightweight concrete, 14,100 tons of steel and 1,270 tons of suspension cable. It is designed to withstand winds of 90 miles per hour, double that required by code. The overall length of the bridge is 6,050 feet, with a main suspension span of 1,500 feet and 500-foot spans on either side. The towers are 365 feet high. Named for one of San Pedro's "own," an orphan from the streets and wharves who went on to become a State Assemblyman, it was The Hon. Vincent Thomas who cut the ribbon at the dedication ceremony.
