Very cool view!

Wonderful shot! I'm going to have to get the book, just read some about it at Wiki.

This is beautiful!

You have brought back memories of a wonderful day I spent with my sister in late September 2005. We started at the New York Transit Museum‎ in Brooklyn(wonderful museum) then walked in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood and along the Promenade, had pizza, walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and went to the South Street Seaport(where I ran out of film). Thanks for bringing back the memories. Excellent image! Beautiful sweep across the buildings, bridges and into to the hazy distance!

Up late again, I see! Baaaaaaaad habit . . . ;-) That's home! I was born on that island .. in the early days of Camelot. And because it's home .. it's hard to look at that image and not get angry still .. because where it was taken from no longer exists. But .. this is your thread, not mine, so I won't let myself get started. It's a great photograph, Mark. & yes, including one of the most fascinating structures in the city, the Brooklyn bridge; still wonderful to gaze upon after all these years. When was the wedding .. and this made? T.

So interesting , even though cities are my idea of hell.

I was born in Brooklyn and spent the first 40 or so years of my life there. Strangely, this photo feels almost alien to me, as if I can no longer attach myself to this place and time. It's like a dream. But it is a great photo.

man that looks crowed. great shot

Nice place to visit...period...

New York never disappoints me. The stories in a single shot like this are so many that it makes my mind spin. I have been there a few times - well, as a child - and it was huge and crowded but the people all seemed so nice. It is certainly a place where all people come together but remain separate. Wonderful view.

Wonderful image!

AWESOME SHOT!

Cool perspective. I love New York!!

super cool looking place with the two bridges

Me favorite book as the words always catch the attention of mine awesome capture says a WOW warm hugs, Linda

I love the Brooklyn Bridge and I just picked up a model here and I was just planning a picture. Your photo will give me good ideas. Wonderful view and mood of my favorite city. I love the POV.

lol, Andrea: She always has problems with huge cities...I gotta say, if someone told me there'd be a fine shot of NYC with haze and purple smog (or whatever it was), I'd think they were mistaken. But this really oozes NYC, and it has a wonderful crammed and intense NY feeling. I love the descent of the shot too (to near darkness on the bottom). Did you ever live in NY? (I did, several times during college. A month here, a few months there...) That lower shot is so crammed and urban and 'NY'---with those "wedding cake" high rises, and the deep canyons below, and the deep, deep shadows. I don't know how you got this purple haze (all in my brain...you're makin' me blow my mind...), but it's just so right for this view. And the BBridge is majestic as ever: One only has to look at it to see how it stands out. I read that a lot of people had to die or be injured to build that thing; but it has a muscular grace that none of the other bridges have. A really fine crammed NYC shot: I really like this!

From the ages of 12-14 I lived in Poughkeepsie which is about 75 miles up the Hudson from NYC. I never lived in the city and as an adult I only visit for funerals, weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs. I have one single cousin left. Manhattan is a great place to go for a walk.
