Brooklyn Bridge, +
Feb 1, 2024 14:24:20 #
No rain or snow scheduled for this morning so I decided to play tourist and took a bus and a train to walk up on the Brooklyn Bridge.
Built by John Roebling, it opened in 1893 as a hybrid cable-stayed suspension bridge, and was the first fixed crossing of the East River. It was during its construction that Caisson Disease (the bends) had to be addressed for the first time. 20 men died from it, and many others suffered permanently from the decompression sickness.
The first four images are walking towards Brooklyn. The next two are some of lower Manhattan that one can see walking back towards the subway. The green culo is the Woolworth building. The freedom tower, which is on the other side of Manhattan, can be seen to its left. The gold statue, 30 feet high, and facing away from the statue of liberty, is on the Municiple building, which was built after the five boroughs comprising NYC combined in 1898.
The 4 image pan is across from the foot of the bridge and is what one sees coming and going on the subway.
The dreamer and the squinter are just a couple of shots I grabbed while on the train and waiting for the bus.

John Roebling designed and built the suspension bridge between Cincinnati, OH and Covington, KY that bears his name. He designed, and began construction of a similar bridge in New York City. He died during the construction phase and his wife and son finished the bridge in Brooklyn.
