EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Rainbow Bridge, also known as Mill Creek Bridge or Bixby Creek Bridge, nestled in the picturesque Big Sur region of Monterey County, California, USA. Built in 1932, this single-span high bridge is a testament to the engineering marvels of the past. The bridge spans the breathtaking valley, connecting the Carmel-San Simeon Highway, and providing travelers with a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean. The image, taken circa 1935, transports us back in time to the 1930s, an era of innovation and progress. The bridge's distinctive rainbow-like arch, formed by the refraction of sunlight on the wet concrete, adds to its allure and makes it a popular tourist attraction even today. The bridge's construction was a significant achievement for its time, as it was built during a period when the Big Sur area was still largely inaccessible due to the rugged terrain. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bridge's elegant design and the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding area. The lush greenery, the winding road, and the vast expanse of the ocean create a serene and picturesque setting that continues to draw visitors from around the world. The Rainbow Bridge stands as a symbol of the enduring connection between human ingenuity and the natural wonders of California's coastline.
