The Brooklyn Bridge and the Golden Gate both have similar qualities in design. For example, they have cable suspension engineering with two towers acting as support for the cables. They also connect two points of major cities, Brooklyn being New York City, and Golden Gate being San Francisco and Marin County. These two bridges are pretty similar in structure, only their placement and coloring differ, with Brooklyn a grey brick color and Golden Gate a copper rusty color. As for how people take pictures of them, I can see Brooklyn pictures using a lot of the city as a background. This is mostly due to pretty much all around the bridge is city. As for Golden Gate, I see more beauty in the pictures. Each picture is from an angle that shows how magnificent just the bridge is, some are even taken during that night which shows off its luminous lights.
Since the Brooklyn Bridge was built during the late 1800’s and designed by a German immigrant and his son, John and Washington Roebling, it shows a little bit of a European style of architecture. The two towers have almost a Gothic look to them which is tall arches that show a power stature. Also as a added note, the bridge was built to be six times stronger than it needed to be.
As for the Golden Gate, this bridge was built towards the mid 1900’s and as such was bit different when building. They first of all had safety nets put out for the workers which minimized the death toll to 11 men, rather than the 20 lost building the Brooklyn Bridge. Those who survived the fall by being caught by the net join what was called the “half-way to hell” club. As for the coloring of the bridge, it was suggested to be a black and yellow striped color for ships to see it, but was changed to the orange we see today because the orange was used as a coating for air quality reasons.
Both these bridges are known worldwide and are a big part of cities they reside in. They show the American engineering and prowls to build amazing constructions. Because of this we admire it and use it our culture to be recognized.
