Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges at Night - Black and White Aerial NYC

Sale price$45.00
Material:
Size:

The Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge span the East River side by side, photographed from a helicopter at twilight with Lower Manhattan and One World Trade Center glittering beyond. The Brooklyn Bridge, completed in 1883, was the first steel-wire suspension bridge in the world and remained the longest span on Earth for two decades; the Manhattan Bridge followed in 1909 with a much heavier truss-and-cable design built to carry trains. Side by side they make a usable timeline of American bridge engineering. The black and white treatment strips the scene of period clues and reduces the city to its enduring forms — light, steel, water.
