Christopher Michelon is a traveler and [photographer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photography-seoul-museum-of-art) whose series that features the iconic San Francisco bridge are enough to make anyone a little uncomfortable. His images of the Golden Gate Bridge show the structure of the tourist attraction from a number of different angles.

He captures the images by elevating himself to almost 67 meters above the bridge, placing him into the clouds and offering a [unique and especially scenic view](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/72-turns). With this, Christopher Michelon's photography shows the intensive work that went into creating the San Francisco bridge, exposing the entirety of it from a view that its builders would have experienced so many years ago. The images show cars speeding down below, the shadows of the clouds reflected on the blue-green surface of the water and the city in the distance.
