The Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline

The granite towers of the Brooklyn Bridge with their pointed double arches frame the span, its cables and web of stays curving over the East River; a barge moves on the water below, and behind the bridge the skyscrapers of lower Manhattan stand in the haze. Designed by John A. Roebling and completed in 1883 by his son Washington, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it opened.
