Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge with its gothic towers and elegant tapestry of steel cable has been an inspiration to many since it opened in 1883. It is a symbol of our country’s optimism and the entrepreneurial spirit of the late 19th century that still inspires us today. I have only known of this eight wonder of the world through books, photographs, paintings, and film.
Today I actually walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, may I add here that I have a fear of bridges. Yes, there is a name for that, gephyrophobia. My deep-rooted infatuation spoke loader than my fear and pushed me on to this adventure. If they could build it, I can cross it!
