The Manhattan bridge spans the East river in New York. The photo was taken with a low vantage point from Pike Street with a great view of the bridge connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn. Perhaps the best point to photograph this bridge. The bridge is one of the oldest in New York and you can walk across it, definitely recommended and if you start from Brooklyn you will have a great view of the Manhattan skyline. See also my photo of the Brooklyn bridge, which is already hanging on several people's walls!
