Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 12 October 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
This walkway goes over the FDR highway in NYC and at the end looks over the river to Long island City
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Great perspective! Next week, I'll visit NYC. Perhaps I post my version of this bridge, who knows! Great shot.

@Mackan: Thanks for the comment, this bridge is a little of the normal beaten track for visitors, its not close to the main tourist attractions, but it is an easy walk from the UN area to get there

Very interesting shot - the perspective is great. How did you get the blurring on the edges but not on the bottom edge?
