Where Are This Mystery Bridge and Bay Located?
Latitude reader and Club Nautique sailing instructor Dan Marshall was traveling overseas, and captured the photo below from aboard a ferry crossing a bay. He said, “I looked up and saw what looked like the Golden Gate as seen from the Bay, with San Francisco’s hills on the left and a good replica of the Marin Headlands on the right. It looked as if I’d time-traveled back to 1775, when Ayala [Spanish naval officer Lt. Juan Manuel de Ayala] was the first European to enter the Bay by boat, except, what was the bridge doing there?”

Does anyone have a good guess on the location of this bridge in Dan’s photo?

Lisbon, Portugal
Google Lens was not fooled…
Lisbon, Portugal
Portugal , geographically a miniature California!
Completely I share your opinion. Idea good, I support.
The 25 de Abril Bridge is a suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon, capital of Portugal, to the municipality of Almada
Lisbon…. my perspective from my apartment made it seem as I was back in SF
I think it is one of the bridges in the Seto Nakai in Japan. Maybe the Honshu-Shikoku.

Bruce – you are as close as you can get to correct! Dan says it is in Seto Nakai though he believes the bridge is the Uzu no Oka Onaruto Bridge. You can visit it on Google maps here:
