It would have been easy to just fire away. I would also bet that one would never have to repeat a view. The possibilities are endless - daylight, night time, rain, snow, fog, topside, underneath, waterfront, neighborhood views - the list goes on and on. And if those possibilities are not enough, there's always the NYC Waterfalls that is lurking under the bridge.

Are there any NYC people out there in the group who have spent any time picturing the bridge?

I assume you are aware of David McCullough's wonderfull book: "THE GREAT BRIDGE - The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge."

a book on NYC's bridges with that same view again (second photo inside preview of book) won the themed category of the Blurb Book Contest this past weekend.
