Hey!  I've been there!  The Firth of Forth my grandpa called it -- it was his favorite bridge.  I don't recall him ever mentioning the resemblance to dinosaurs, but I can see it.  Lovely photo, thanks.

I haven't been to the USA, so haven't seen the Golden Gate in real life; nor Sydney's Harbour Bridge; but still I suspect this one beats them all for me! I too was on the shores of the Firth of Forth between the two bridges (maybe you remember, a kilometre to the right is a modern suspension bridge) one summer (= very late) sunset in 1999, and with the warm lights then, the sight was otherworldy...

Now I really should find a scanner to post my photos I made then...

I've been over the Golden Gate a few times and I wouldn't want to compare them -- they're both beautiful in very different ways.

The first time I went over the Golden Gate, I stopped in the middle where they have a scenic pullout and they had a payphone there!  I was so excited I called my mom -- guess where I'm calling from?!?  I don't know if it's still there.  Everyone has cell phones now.
