DUMBO

Until I started researching for our New York trip, I thought DUMBO was a just a Disney character. It turns out it's an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. We took the subway into Brooklyn and explored the area including DUMBO and then walked back over the Brooklyn Bridge. The iconic Empire State Building is framed in the bottom section of the Manhattan bridge. I had heard about this photo op but wasn't sure exactly where it was. It was pleasantly surprised when we rounded a corner and I saw this view. Best views large and surrounded by black, if you have time.

[Lynda McG]

Spectacular! We went to NY in January and this is one of the shots I wanted to capture but by the time we had strolled over Brooklyn bridge, and taken my fill of pictures, the light was fading and my shot wasn't very good at all. This is perfect! Fav

Love the framing of the Empire State Bldg. Didn't know that view was there to be had....next time I've been to DUMBO, but it was a long time ago (though my dad did grow up on Coney Island).
