This probably isn't allowed, but I didn't see a best of GSV thread.  Snipping a screenshot would miss out on what makes it cool.

Up there with the prettiest bridge views in the United States*?

I took this earlier this evening.  I quite like it because the moon is in shot:

The heavily weathered original alignment of CA 190 at Lake Success.

There is a lot going on in this photo:

-  A white center line can be observed.
-  The asphalt surface is peeling off to the older layer of concrete.
-  Sections of the concrete on the right are being eroded from underneath and subsiding into the lake.

I think the recently reconstructed US 54/400 and I-235 is neat.


Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

Coalinga Mineral Springs Road at the damaged entrance to Coalinga Mineral Springs.  This area burned last summer and was once the site of a resort called Fresno Hot Springs.  The water running over the road is from one of the nearby springs.  Coalinga Mineral Springs Road was constructed during the 1890s as a stage route from Warthan Canyon.
