"Diag.On.ALL" [Salute to YOU!]

Hot! In Photo Challenge: Stripes

by Rob Roy

Uploaded 16 Nov 2008 — 55 favorites

STRIPES Theme: Except for a narrow center space [flag (top) to pedestrian walk (bottom)], this shot of the Brooklyn Bridge has “Diagonals On ALL” of it! When in NY, you MUST walk the 1 mile+ across this bridge TOWARD MANHATTAN! [You’ll thank me!!] Pedestrian walk is ABOVE traffic on both sides...Cool! SEE:

You sure are a persuasive bunch! Your kind remarks in the “Arrivederci!” pic were deeply felt, and you should know that each of your friendships is INDIVIDUALLY treasured! IT IS TO YOU THAT I DEDICATE THE MUSIC AND N.Y. PHOTOS AT PROP #1. "This, Buds, for YOU!"

Photo 2 in the “video” is THIS image; #3 is “SkyLine Slants”:

Rob, this is beautiful. Perfectly framed with that lovely blue sky and clouds in the background, this shot just compels you to keep looking at all the detail. The suspension wires make the picture, but even the netting (I assume to prevent folks from jumping?) adds to the overall visual. Very nice shot.

That is just phenomenal Rob, it makes me giddy with boyish excitement as I marvel at every truss,rivet and cable.Wonderful perspective and composition, a masterpiece of design and well executed photography.It could easily hang in a gallery in London.
