Lighting The Candle At Both Ends - Golden Gate Bridge 75th Anniversary

Best in Lightbox
Wallpaper Size

It was extremely dark on the Marin Headlands when suddenly there was a brilliant flash at each end of the Golden Gate Bridge and massive flames traveled quickly towards the center of the bridge until meeting in the center the entire span erupted in to a blinding light that lit the sky. The flames eventually erupted in to a full cascade of fire that would extend to both ends of the massive span. The water below glowed brilliant green and reflected the golden light of the fireworks skyward.

This is the very first few seconds of the fireworks show when the flames met at the center but had yet to plummet to the cool waters of San Francisco Bay. This was hands down the best fireworks show I have ever seen and I doubt there will be another to follow until the celebration of the 100th Anniversary celebration is held in 25 years.
