The NY Times has a great California-centric newsletter. They often pose questions to readers to then reply and then share those results. They recently asked readers, what was their favorite bridge in California? Of course, people replied with the Bixby Bridge or the Golden Gate Bridge. My favorite bridge? The San Mateo-Hayward Bridge.

I lived in the Bay Area for almost 10 years, and the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge is the best. It’s so long, you feel as if you’re alone on a large body of water. And at certain times of the year, the commute home often had amazing sunsets.

I can now say I’ve been quoted in the New York Times. Oh, and here are some sunset pictures from the bridge that I took through the years.
