Rocky Pt Bridge at Big Sur
|LARGE|
A bit of American history for you.
Rocky Point Bridge is a twin bridge located just half-mile away from the identical bridge called Bixby Bridge, which you may see in the distance on the image I posted earlier. Both were built in 1932, and with their construction, it opened a whole new world for automobiles to discover, as previously it could have taken as long as three days to cross 70-mile stretch of coast we now know as Big Sur. These bridges began a new era of travel along the Pacific coast of California, and are now a popular destination to tourists coming to see Big Sur from all over the world.
The bridges are also famous as they often appear in movies and in TV car ads (hence, the look to this photograph that I wanted to portray). I'm not sure why Bixby Bridge tends to be more famous of the two - they look exactly the same to me.
