#0104 Manhattan Bridge Tower #1

This is an early morning view of the Manhattan Bridge Tower from the Brooklyn side. I liked the sheer size and weight of the structures that make up the neighborhood under the bridge. The buildings create a canyon and it is this canyon effect I was responding to. The 7AM light helps create contrasts, which further defines this vacuum of space.
