Photograph of a view of the Colorado Street Bridge as seen from the Arroyo Seco below, Pasadena, 1920. What appears to be a cantilever bridge stands in the foreground, stretching out across the low-tide stream beneath it. The bridge's architecture appears reminiscent of Roman aqueducts and a smaller, wooden simple truss bridge can be seen in the distance beneath it. The reflection of the bridge is visible in a puddle of the remaining water in the foreground.
