As Manhattan begins to be overwhelmed by shoppers, it was time to retreat for another walk on a bridge, this time the Manhattan Bridge, which is very close to the Brooklyn Bridge. It is more or less ugly; the bridge is undistinguished, and you are mostly surrounded by fences and so forth. In addition, the pedestrian path runs right next to the subway tracks, which makes for considerable noise and shaking. That said, it was still a wonderful and interesting walk, starting from the mostly high rise modern section of downtown Brooklyn, and ending up in the heart of Chinatown.
I took lots of pictures...

A very peculiar building, with Manhattan towers in the background:
More rooftop grafitti and towers
I never knew that rooftops were a good place for grafitti:
