Brooklyn Bridge


  When my first class off day, I thought something special plan for my meaningful spare time. I was plan to watching sunrise on the Brooklyn Bridge with My classmate Asako. To see the sunrise, we have to depart at 5:30 at least. When we departed, out side was still dark. We took the subway.  At 6:20 we arrived High station. On the way to the Brooklyn Bridge there are a group of people who go to the bridge. 


When we finally arrived the Brooklyn Bridge, there were a lot of people. Some of people were jogging or road a bicycle. Some of couple were spending romantic time. It was very beautiful scenery. However sadly sun was already risen. So we couldn’t saw the sunrise but still beautiful. When we walked the bridge I found surprise thing. It is that the bridge’s floor made by wood. I could believe that. How it can be still exist strongly? 

The Brooklyn Bridge is the oldest Bridge in the New York. The bridge’s a lot of steel cables gave me grandiosity feeling. This bridge was primally designed with steel cable. So this is called by one of the best achievement in mechanical engineering field. Also, this bridge have famous and sad story. This is about a person who build this bridge. His name is John Augustus Roebling. He had designed this when a ferry he aboard had trapped in the ice. However, before to start to build the bridge he accidentally had died. So, His sun had finished to build. On the bridge, I was sentimentalized momently because of this story. To this day the Brooklyn bridge is still loved by many people. We walked the end of the bridge. While walked we took a lot of pictures. May be some of these pictures I will use this for my artwork. This is the first my real adventure in New York city. It was really exciting experience and also healing time. Sometimes I would go there again.

  1. A-ha! I remembered this plan that I couldn't join you, so sadly. But I felt happy to see you went there after your first class ending, I didn't know that. It should have really fun. Next time, I will come, I promise. I can't miss these beautiful moments :)
