San Francisco

Golden Gate Bridge Clear blue skies everywhere except directly over the city... Suspension bridge built in the 1930s that spans the Golden Gate, the strait that connects San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean.
Declared one of the modern wonders of the world. Also one of the most popular sites in the world to commit suicide, with over 1,500 suicides to date. The deck is 245 ft above the water, and has a 4,200 ft main span. The total length from abutment to abutment is 8,981 ft. Construction was completed in April 1937 and came in $1.3 million under budget (with a total cost of over $35 million). Pretty impressive.
