The arches in the bridge towers aren’t obviously doorways until you’re walking right under them.

A photo I took looking up at one of the massive limestone-and-granite towers of the Brooklyn Bridge as I was walking on the pedestrian path directly underneath. Through the tall, sunlit archway we see cables stretching out to the second bridge tower in the distance, against the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline under a blue sky with cumulus clouds.

Crossing the Bridge, 8.

Something a little different for this week. These large discs appear at regular intervals along the massive main cables of the Brooklyn Bridge. I’d always wondered what they were; it turns out they’re barriers to discourage trespassers from climbing up the cables to reach the top of the bridge towers — a very dangerous stunt! The door in each barrier can be unlocked to give access to authorized personnel.

A near-horizontal section of one of the main suspension cables of the Brooklyn Bridge, against a backdrop of massive white clouds with a bit of blue sky at the top. Around the middle of the cable is a large circular metal screen barrier, oriented vertically, with spokes radiating out from its center. A closed screen door is set into its upper half.

Crossing the Bridge, 1.

I recently got to see the lovely musical “Brooklyn’s Bridge,” about the brilliant Emily Roebling, who supervised the bridge’s construction after her husband the chief engineer was incapacitated. Afterwards the audience was invited to walk across the bridge itself, accompanied by tour guides. It had been years since I last crossed it on foot, and I was thrilled to see the walkway again. More photos to come.

A view of the eastern tower of the Brooklyn Bridge as seen from its pedestrian walkway, facing the Manhattan side. Behind it is the Manhattan skyline under a wide blue sky with cottony clouds. A throng of people facing away from camera walks across the bridge, most notably a woman in the middle of the crowd whose vivid red spaghetti-strap dress catches the eye.
