At the golden hour even the eastern tower’s brown granite which was quarried and shaped on Vinalhaven Island Maine of the Brooklyn Bridge takes on a golden hue and as well as the suspension cables themselves. This remarkable structure built in the nineteenth century over 125 years ago continues to be one of the main arteries between Manhattan and Brooklyn in the twenty first century with its six lanes of automobiles (3 east & 3 west), it’s pedestrian walkway which in the summer can peak at an amazing 10,000 pedestrians and 3,500 bicyclist a day. John Augustus Roebling the German Immigrant that designed the bridge designed it as he had previous structures such as Roebling Suspension Bridge over the Ohio River between Cincinnati Ohio and Covington Kentucky so it was spec’ed out to handle 6 times the intended weight with its structure. It is one of the reasons that it still remains a viable traffic channel while many of the structures that were its contemporaries during the nineteenth century are long gone while the Brooklyn Bridge remains a century and quarter after it was built.
This perspective is from Brooklyn with ‘old’ Fulton Street in the foreground, many of the structures have been preserved from the time the bridge was built. Conversations about the building of a bridge between the cities of New York and Brooklyn started in the earlier in the nineteenth century predating the American Civil War. Roebling began drawing designs as early as 1857 while one of his designs a suspension bridge over the Allegheny River at Pittsburgh which was finished in 1859 and the bridge that would get eventually be named after John that I mentioned previously over the Ohio between Cincinnati and Covington was also in progress. The Ohio river bridge project would be stopped by the Civil War and the construction resumed post war and finished in 1867.
The street was named after Robert Fulton who had established the most prominent steam ferry service between New York and Brooklyn the terminal located at the end of the this very street. Picture New York and Brooklyn two growing and thriving cities separated by the east river, so the waterways between the two cities was full of sea vessels going back and forth, the larger ones were steam powered, so smog was prevalent. It had become a nightmare which is why both cities were pushing for a bridge. The ask was a true challenge for John Roebling which turns out is why he padded the specifications even more, it was by far the largest structure he had ever designed. When Brooklyn Bridge was completed it was the longest suspension bridge in the world and remained the longest for 20 years.
On a personal note, it is one of four New York City bridges that I’ve walked, bicycled and driven across actually the one I’ve walked and cycled across the most.

I made this same picture last week . . . and please don't tell anybody . . . but I forgot to put the memory card in the camera . . .I went back again today after being inspired by Flickr friend Skyshaper's image of the same spot. . . and luckily the same guy was in the same spot . . . (and I think he'll be there any other time I want to redo this shot) . . .
To sit alone in the light with a book spread out before you, and hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations ... such is a pleasure beyond compare.

Easy to see why I was drawn to this image, but was it chance or something more. I came across this station while on a detour trying to get back to the south end of Manhattan to catch the Staten Island Ferry. A subway station that seemed to be from out of the future, or like a mad scientist's laboratory. What a fantastic piece of architecture and design. I would have liked to stay longer but it was already turning into one of those subway rides that seemed to be taking forever, I took a few shots and on I went. When I got home, I couldn't remember the location and began an on-line search. I started with photos on flickr and found a pic of the station thru my contacts, Tom Reese, Wowography posted a pic of the station back in Dec. My comment read that I needed to visit this location! I had and didn't even realize it at the time or maybe the connection was influenced by viewing Tom's pic???

I had packed up my camera for the night, but I passed this alley on Fulton St. and loved the lighting so much that I had to go back to get a shot.
