From this lower perspective at Main Street Park in DUMBO, it's easy to see why all 6,855 ft of the Manhattan Bridge have become a landmark since it was first built in 1901. The rocky foreground incorporates texture, the model adds a sense of scale and the overcast weather allows the bridge to pop against the sky — all makings of a great photo location!
