Memorial Weekend on Brooklyn Bridge Part I

On Sunday I walked home across the Brooklyn Bridge. Usually I pass through the area either underground or in a car, and there is never much to see. But the bike/walking areas are all elevated, and the entire Manhattan skyline is visible from the bridge, as well as other landmarks. Whenever the sun is out, the tourist attractions are full of people, and Memorial weekend brought a lot of people to the boardwalk.

There are gates to keep people from walking up the suspension lines, in case you were wondering (I was...).

The Mahattan Bridge makes for a better walk because the pedestrian ramp is on the edge of the bridge, while pedestrians walk on the top of the Brooklyn Bridge, away from the side.

The spire on the left is the Empire State Building, and the spire on the right is the Chrysler Building.
