Color Photographic Scenes of the West.
This breath-taking vista of the Pacific coastline is near the Bixby Creek bridge of the San Simeon Highway, south of Monterey, Calif. One of the many spectacular bridges on the more than 100 miles of scenic highway. Bixby Creek span is representative of the engineering skill which went into the construction of the spectacular drive.
