Description
The classic street light, spider's web of cables, and elegant gothic arch of the historic Brooklyn Bridge in beautiful silhouette as the sun rises over the Manhattan Bridge in the distance.
The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest bridges of either type in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. It has a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m), and was the first steel-wire suspension bridge constructed. It was originally referred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and as the East River Bridge, but it was later dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge, a name coming from an earlier January 25, 1867, letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, and formally so named by the city government in 1915. Since its opening, it has become an icon of New York City, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1972.

So much to enjoy and look at....the spider web effect of cables, the arches of the support beams and the wonderful sunrise. Great choice for black and white James.

A refreshingly fresh perspective on the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. You've seen it and shown it in a different and very beautiful light. Well done.
