Happy 75th Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge, connecting San Francisco and Marin County in California, opened 75 years ago. Here is a link with some nice photographs taken during construction:

The first photo alone makes all my muscles tighten and I want to curl into a little ball and hide.

If you could buy this at IKEA I wonder what the manual would look like
But 75 years, that's amazing. At first I thought they learned from old mistakes but it actually seems that the newer model was the mistake (they used elastic parts for this one... yeah) |

A picture of me and my (then) new wife when we were on honeymoon in California, with the bridge in the backround, still has pride of place in my house.
