A closer look
Next time a strong wind rushes through San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge might sing to you. Its massive new railings, reshaped by engineers, act like the strings of a colossal harp. When gales sweep across, the bridge resonates with silver, otherworldly notes, as though the city is being serenaded by aliens. Some find it eerie, others enchanting — but one thing is clear: bridges aren’t silent stone and steel. They can respond like instruments, echoing the weather itself in ghostly harmonies only nature and design could compose together.
