Correct me if I’m wrong ( incorrect that is) but the young lady on the right looks suspiciously like a certain modern female musician whose name I won’t mention here.
That is the way it was done up till the 90's: Seat came up, you sat down and rode. Hopped off at the end.
This is a great picture and it may sound funny but the second thing I noticed in this photo was the pull top can of Coke.
Its a perspective trick. They're on a slope...if they fell out of the chair they'd probably fall no more than a few feet before they landed on the hillside.
1956 Dodge LeFemme....... Rare car! One of my aunts and a neighbor lady had 1955's which were pink and white.
@down-the-road Hello, We have been driving over that beautiful bridge forever. Ever since our dad took us on our first long road trip to see San Francisco when we were little. His 1949 and 53 Buicks was large enough for us to enjoy the view from the window. But, our mom would not allow all of us to walk out to the middle of the bridge. It is something most folks would like to do, to get a different view of the big bay and city. Something about the swirling winds blowing out to sea and the unstable feeling as one gets closer to the edge, looking down... So, it took many years later (1967-70) when my wife and I drove up the coastline to complete our journey to the S.F. Bay area for the concerts, car shows and pleasant walks in the Marin County wooded forests and coastlines. But, first, we had to walk out to the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge for some photos. Jnaki The first thing I noticed was the fast current flowing out under the bridge. We saw some debris and the next thing was that it floated under us and out to the open ocean. Then the massive view of the whole bay area is amazing, being so high up. Of course, after crossing to the Marin County side, the view back to the city from the headlands is also quite impressive. Another thing my wife noticed was the tiny sailboat, just moving West under the bridge. (It could have been a 40 foot sailboat, but it looked tiny) The wind was coming toward the bridge and the current was flowing out to the ocean. The sailboat was making faster time going against the wind as the current was winning the battle of the "powers." Our last, up the coast to Oregon road trip was a “drive-over” the Golden Gate Bridge from the North. We had already crossed over the Columbia River outlet on one of the highest/longest bridges on the West coast at Astoria, Oregon. Now, before we stopped for the night in the S.F. Bay area, one more time across the orange bridge with one side trip to see below the bridge at one of the coolest places to surf, under and around the base of the bridge along the rocky shoreline. Fort Point…YRMV Note: Fort Point, below the Southern end of the bridge, has some pretty awesome waves. When the swell comes wrapping around the bend and starts breaking under the bridge, the rides can be all the way to the shoreline. It is confusing as the current is so fast going out, in the middle of the bridge. There is the thought of getting in and not being able to get out… or getting swept away… ha! But, under the opening of the first piling to shore, the swell just blasts around the point and wraps like a great point wave.
