Photo Of The Day: Williamsburg Bridge
We often forget that Manhattan is an island. That is, until we remember the number of bridges crisscrossing the skyline to connect the New York City borough with the rest of America.
Most people are familiar with the Brooklyn Bridge and the George Washington Bridge. But my personal favorite is the Williamsburg Bridge, which connects Manhattan's Lower East Side to Williamsburg in Brooklyn. I have spent many a late night in a cab over that bridge, and the view of the Manhattan skyline when crossing over from the Brooklyn side never fails to leave me breathless. This view, taken by Flickr user Skylar Grant from the East River waterfront, isn't too shabby either.
Do you have any beautiful bridge photos? Upload your shots to the Gadling Flickr Pool and your image could be selected as our Photo of the Day.

Am I the only one who noticed this is actually the Manhattan Bridge, not the Williamsburg Bridge?
Here is a daytime shot by a user on Panoramio from the same vantage point.
Actually - you do see the Williamsburg Bridge. you see the West Tower below the Manhattan Bridge towards the left side of the span.
