For whatever reason, I'm always intrigued by this little home on my morning walks. It's gone through different colors over the years and has had trees cut down outside of it, but it's (for me) a lovely little place.

1969 - San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge Opens 🔓​

Located in the U.S. state of California, the San Diego–Coronado Bridge is one of the most spectacular bridges in the world. The bridge crosses over San Diego Bay and links San Diego with Coronado.

🔎 Point of View: Coronado Bridge​

In 1969, the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge was completed and made Coronado Island and Hotel del Coronado much more accessible. There were several proposals over the years to build a bridge (including one by hotel owner John D. Spreckels in 1926), but it wasn’t until 1964 that the bridge was approved by the Pentagon with the help of the California State Division of Highways.

The spectacular bridge is a beautiful sparkling blue and is more than 2 miles in length, with a visually dramatic 90-degree shift at mid-point. This elegant structure is high enough for the tallest Navy ships to pass under and is artfully supported by arches with side panels of just 34 inches to allow for spectacular views while traveling across the bay.

📐 Total Length: 11,179 feet (3,407 m) or 2.1 Miles (3.4 km) (including approaches) - Width: 63 Feet (19 m) between curbs - Longest Span: 600 Feet (200 m) - Piers in Water: 21 - Carries: 5 Lanes - Construction Cost: US$48 (Equivalent to $383 in 2022) Million - 🏆 Successful Competition Design: 1978 World Bridge Beauty Contest - San Diego Bay.​

☠️ Disclaimer: The bridge is said to be a Suicide Magnet: It has been the site of more than 360 suicides ☠️

🏗️ Constructed by: Murphy-Pacific 🌊
🔱 Owner: State of California - 🔆 Maintained by California Department of Transportation

This has an elegant simplicity. It reminds me of the art deco style of photography from the 1930s-40s.
