Photograph of an aerial view of the Colorado Street bridge in Pasadena with the Rose Bowl in the background, December 18, 1935. The long bridge curves over a wide gorge at center. There are many trees visible around the bridge, and several smaller bridges can be seen. A small number of buildings is scattered through the trees. In the distance at left, the Rose Bowl is visible in a large flat area of land. The city of Pasadena sprawls out at right, and a mountain range runs across the background of the image.
