Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge allowed me to geek out on photography and experience another cultural highlight of New York City.
The Brooklyn Bridge is a well-known symbol of New York City and appears in the opening credits of many television shows (Sex and the City) and in movies (I Am Legend).
At the time it was built, the Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world. Today, it is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States.
And it’s a pretty sexy photography subject.

Amazing photos! The Brooklyn Bridge just seems to have so many unbelievable angles and perspectives to photograph! It definitely is sexy. Hope I get a chance to explore this myself once day

Awesome photos! I sat on the side of it last year, thinking I might fall off, and got a great shot with the New York skyline in the background. Yours are way better though!
I would love to go back another time and get some sunset photos with the skyline in the background.

Love how you captured the bridge and glad they finally finished that construction up there, it was starting to look horrid 😀

Glad it was done before I got there. It is always annoying to discover a landmark covered in scaffolding, especially when you’re just visiting.

Great photos! I still haven’t gone on the bridge even though I spent 5 days in NYC over the summer. I wasn’t in a rush though, New York is one of those places you know you will visit again.

I just wish I could do one long stay rather than going back for short stays. I’m not that patient.

Nice variety of angles in these shots. I have yet to walk the Brooklyn Bridge – on my next NYC visit for sure.

Stunning photos of my favorite bridge! When I lived closer to the bridge, in the summer time, I used to always jog over the bridge, have a coffee in Manhattan, and jog back to Brooklyn in the early morning. I surely miss that.

A little trivia. The original, or prototype, of the Brooklyn Bridge is in Cincinnati, across the Ohio River. Yes, it is still standing and in use every day.

Empire State building and Brooklyn Bridge are the icons of New York city and American icons also.
