Flying Horses Carousel, Martha's Vineyard

We spent a day on Martha's Vineyard several years ago. We rented bikes and rode around Oak Bluffs, one of several small towns on the island.

An unexpected surprise was the Flying Horses Carousel.

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most dramatic bridges. maps.ask.com has the best satellite shot of it but Windows Live Local has an amazing birdseye view of it here. Be sure and hit F11 to get the full effect.

Hyde St. Cable Car Turnaround, San Francisco

wikipedia has a good article on the cable car system here and the system's web site is here.
