> The next batch of selected photos from my New York trip are of bridges. We went on a 3-hour cruise (not to be confused with Gilligan's 3-hour "tour") around the island of Manhattan (I know, I just dated myself).
> I've always loved and been fascinated by bridges, so I had a lot of fun photographing them as we approached and went under each of them.
> I must note that while I tried to keep track and remember which bridge was which so I could properly label my photos, it didn't take long before I knew there was no hope of that. But I easily consoled myself when the tour guide told us near the end of the trip that we had gone under 20 bridges!
> I don't have photos of all of 20, but I have a multiples of a few of my favorites—hope you enjoy my photos of these wonderful structures. We especially enjoyed a closer look of the Brooklyn Bridge (the last 3 pics). We took the subway to Brooklyn and walked back to Manhattan across it and took photos as we made our back. What a great walk!

| See the little red lighthouse at the base of the bridge in the above two photos? (sorry, my watermark covers it on one pic). Because it's the subject of a 1942 children's book, a large group of fans were able to keep it from being dismantled by getting it listed as a New York City Landmark (read more). |

| This bridge was one of my favorites with the brick and multiple arches, but I'm bugged it's not better cared for...there's litter, pollution build-up, spilled paint, graffiti, and junk dumped around it...still, it's an awesome bridge.     |
