This is a shot of the Manhattan Bridge as seem from the Brooklyn Bridge in early morning light.

It seems wherever you are in NYC you always see new construction going on and its no exception with this view where you can see a new building climbing into the sky.

A Little about the Bridge

The Manhattan Bridge is a Suspension Bridge crossing the East River between lower Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn.
Construction on the bridge started in 1901 and it opened to traffic in December 1908.
It was the last of three bridges built back then across the East river following the Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridges, it was originally named Bridge no 3 but the name changed to the Manhattan bridge in 1902, and I think its a far better name than Bridge number 3 personally.

I think you've outdone yourself this time Jay! Even judging based on the scale of your consistently high quality work, these are exceptional!

Thanks coming from you that is a huge compliment and

Certainly one of your best! Amazing photo!

thanks that’s so kind of you
I wasn’t even sure aboutvediting these ones to be honest

Gorgeous colors, and thanks for the history lesson about the bridges too! :-)

I am not great at writing from the top and f my head so I throw in random facts lol

I have always loved both views from, and of the Brooklyn Bridge. The Manhattan Bridge is great as well. Very pretty pictures, I love the crane, and ongoing construction. Great work!

thanks I do love both bridges also

Amazing shot, Jay. The colors are really vibrant (love the blues). HDR or just an amazing camera? :)
