but the Golden Gate Bridge tops them all for razzle-dazzle showmanship.
On sunny days, this American icon transfixes crowds with its radiant glow
(there are great views from Crissy Field)
made possible by the work of 28 daredevil painters
who reapply around 1000 gallons of International Orange paint each week.
To inspect their work, duck under the bridge into Fort Point
make your way to the roof and look up: you’ll notice that even on the underbelly of the bridge
Not a single rivet is allowed to get rusty.
