The Williamsburg Bridge

Yesterday I shared a few shots in my Wednesday Walk post of a walk over part of the Williamsburg Bridge, and I will follow that this morning with a few shots of the Bridge taken from street level.

Here is a side-on shot of the bridge taken from a little park by the East River than runs under the bridge, and which seems quite popular with both runners and walkers.

Now as I mentioned yesterday I had never walked across this bridge before, nor been tot he little park that runs under it, I had only seen the bridge from a distance and never got any good shots of it and hence the visit to this park recently, the park itself I think is called the John V Lindsay East River Park, but I see on google maps part of it seems also to be called Corlears hook.

This next shot is taken on one side of the bridge and shows the cool detail of its structure

The Williamsburg Bridge is a suspension bridge in New York City across the East River connecting the Lower East Side of Manhattan at Delancey Street with the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn at Broadway near the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
the Bridge is 7,308 Feet Long and construction started in 1896 and it was completed in 1903 up until 1924 it has the longest suspension span in the world.

and a shot taken standing right under the bridge, where I went with a mono sort of style edit, which when I edited it last night I really liked, but now I am not so sure, but as I am preparing this post and want to post in a few minutes I guess I will go with it.
