The iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco rises above the fog. The Golden Gate Bridge has an influence in directing fog as it pushes up and pours down around the Bridge. The fog hugs the ground and then the warm, moist air condenses as it moves across the bay or land.

Looking at Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
Opened in 1937, the single-suspension span is anchored by twin towers that reach skyward 746 feet, and was once taller than any building in San Francisco. To support the suspended roadway, two cables, each more than 7,000 feet in length and both containing 80,000 miles of wire stretch over the top of the towers and are rooted in concrete anchorages on shore.
