#project365 [day 37] Cycling on the Brooklyn Bridge

Walking across the Brooklyn was on top of the things to do in NY. It even topped visiting the Chrysler building, which I didn't even got to do because it as an active office without any facilities to be used as a tourist attraction, shame really. But back to the bridge, the most recognisable bridge in NY, which is saying a lot since there are 16 bridges just connecting Manhattan to the outer boroughs. It's two towers are easily recognisable, and crossing it gives you some very impressive views of Brooklyn, Manhattan, Governors Island and even to the Statue of Liberty if the weather is on your side.On the top deck only pedestrians and cyclists are allowed, and it is one the best ways to commute, since the traffic on the lower deck seems always very dense.

I tried to get a sense of movement from the cyclist going with a slower shutter speed, but had to help it a bit on post processing, because the overcast sky was still to bright to get a slow enough shutter.
