A black and white photograph of one of the two towers of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York city taken from the centrally located pedestrian walkway. There are two iconic Gothic Revival pointed or ogive arches on either side of the walkway in the tower. Diagonal cables converge to an unseen point in the center of the tower, with vertical suspender attached to the diagonals at the intersections creating a perspective checkerboard effect. Behind the cables a lamp post if visible on the right and another one further down on the left.
