A massive structure. Your photo adds to the wonderful variety of bridge styles this month.

Awesome, Ming, awesome! Love it.

Steve Cuddihy said...

Very nice, I didn't realize they kept part of the old bridge as part of the new one.

Jilly said...

What an impressive bridge and I love that you've made it so personal with people walking on it.

Felicia said...

Great perspective. You had some tough choices to make about which bridge too!

Very impressive!
Happy theme day :)

Ben Nakagawa said...

Very nice, indeed.

Isadora said...

:) This is really lovely. What a massive structure sitting over the bridge - is that to supervise?

alice said...

I wish I could climb on this little bridge right at the top, the view must be beautiful! Have a good weekend, Ming.

Majestic!

Unknown said...

Nice!

You can feel the massiveness of this structure from this view.

I can also imagine the traffic sound beside it. I presume next to it is where cars zoom past. :-)


Happy Theme Day!

Good choice from all the NYC bridges! Makes my photo of a cycle bridge slightly insignificant. :)

GMG said...

Between Brooklyn and Queensborough, I thought you would choose QBorough... I've to bet on lotto today... ;))
Enjoy your weekend!

I love the New York bridges. In those days they knew how to build monuments.

Anonymous said...

It is massive. It is like a monument.

16 Ghosts on Bridge?

maria elisa said...

It looks big.

:)

Bergson said...

The bridge was not made by the funny ones; a bridge of mason!!

Janet said...

they just don't make bridges like this anymore! Superb!

Annie said...

It's a marvel!

Bob Crowe said...

Your blog has become nostalgiaville for me. Even as a child I remember thinking this looked like a cathedral and was more impressive to me than St. Patrick's.

The STL CDPB theme day post has a quiz and a contest. Do stop by and enter.

Love the perspective.

isa said...

That's sooo New York!

Kim said...

Ming, what a great choice for theme day. I've seen this bridge in films before but never knew what it was. Love your shot of it!

a charming walkway - Hyde DP is carrying permalinks to the bridge posts and will be updated at intervals until Dec 2nd.

Joy said...

It is a spectacular bridge. Good thing there's a foot path.

Wow, that's great. First what a dedication: you climb up there to get this view? Second, the contrast between the old metal and the new metal almost looks as if one part of the picture was in b&w while the other was kept in color. Great effect!.
