DescriptionUnstretched. Image of the Eastriver Bridge and city skyline from a visitor's path. The viewpoint is looking up towards the bridge; the pillars, river, and upper railing are all visible. An upside-down, V-shaped pillar (middle, black) show the bridge's foundation, and brown apartment buildings are visible behind the bridge. The image uses cool-toned shades of blue, purple, brown, and gray to create a muted, nostalgic view of the bridge.
