Brooklyn Bridge Many people find Brooklyn Bridge fascinating for its imposing architecture, groundbreaking history and visionary engineering. What interests me most is not the bridge itself, but the juxtaposition of the people who cross it every day against the bridge. Some are locals going to work, some are selfie-loving tourists, and some like me are New Yorkers who love to stroll this path every now and then. The gigantic steel ropes of the bridge provide for a real-life theatre that hangs in the sky with thousands of tiny “silhouettes” acting on this grand set each and every day.
