Each of the great bridges spanning San Francisco Bay are captured in this near-nadir photo of the San Francisco and Oakland, California, areas. Starting from the south (left in this photo), Dumbarton, San Mateo, Bay, Golden Gate, and San Rafael bridges are seen. Ribbons of run-off induced sediments color the bay, and multi-colored salt-production pens line the southernmost shore. Image from NASA satellite.

The large complex in the center of the photo is the 40 x 80 Foot Wind Tunnel, which has been designated a National Historic Landmark. Just below that is the 14 Foot Transonic Wind Tunnel and in the lower right adjacent to each other are the twin 7 x 10 Foot Wind Tunnels, (Tunnel #1 is on the right and #2 on the left).
