Brooklyn Bridge looks beautiful too, but I think the way that the Golden Gate shines over the Bay, I would go for that. By the way, those lights are where the World Trade Center used to stand

Unfortunately, I never got a chance to walk the Brooklyn Bridge while they were still standing. The view of Lower Manhattan is breathtaking enough as it is, but I can't image what it must have looked like with those two towers looming over everything. |

I've always found the Brooklyn Bridge to be very beautiful and unique.
Its not as famous as the Golden Gate imo but its still very very famous and well known. |

I've seen both and walked across both. I like the Brooklyn Bridge because it's old and has NYC as a great backdrop, but I must choose the Golden Gate for it's sheer size and beauty.

BTW Jeffrey's Hook AKA The Little Red Lighthouse is still underneath the bridge and was recently restored.

But you gotta admit the openess of the towers lends beauty to the bridge in an art deco sort of way...and boy they are spectacular, when illuminated at night.  |
