Description
This view showing Manhattan in the foreground and Brooklyn at the top of the photo was taken from the observation deck of the new Freedom Tower in Manhattan.
Per Wikipedia: The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest bridges of either type in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. It has a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m), and was the first steel-wire suspension bridge constructed. It was originally referred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and as the East River Bridge, but it was later dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge, a name coming from an earlier January 25, 1867, letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, and formally so named by the city government in 1915. Since its opening, it has become an icon of New York City, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1972.

Looks to be as beautiful a morning as on 9/11.
Sarah Loft replied:
Cheerful thought, Ross. It was a beautiful day and the views were spectacular. I visited the 9/11 Memorial later that day, but it wasn't something I was meditating on from the observation deck.
