It was the last of the three suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn and the Williamsburg bridges. The bridge was opened to traffic on December 31, 1909 and was designed by Leon Moisseiff, who later designed the infamous original Tacoma Narrows Bridge that opened and collapsed in 1940. It has four vehicle lanes on the upper level (split between two roadways). The lower level has three lanes, four subway tracks, a walkway and a bikeway. The upper level, originally used for streetcars, has two lanes in each direction, and the lower level is one-way and has three lanes in peak direction. It once carried New York State Route 27 and later was planned to carry Interstate 478. No tolls are charged for motor vehicles to use the Manhattan Bridge.<br /> <br /> The original pedestrian walkway on the south side of the bridge was reopened after forty years in June 2001. It was also used by bicycles until late summer 2004, when a dedicated bicycle path was opened on the north side of the bridge, and again in 2007 while the bike lane was used for truck access during repairs to the lower motor roadway.<br /> <br /> Main span: 1,470 ft (448 m)<br /> Length of suspension cables: 3224 ft (983 m)<br /> Total length: 6,855 ft (2,089 m)<br /> <br /> The neighborhood near the bridge on the Brooklyn side, once known as Fulton Landing has been gentrified and is called DUMBO, an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.<br /> <br /> To celebrate the bridge's centennial anniversary, a series of events and exhibits were organized by the New York City Bridge Centennial Commission in October 2009. These included a ceremonial parade across the Manhattan Bridge on the morning of October 4 and a fireworks display in the evening. In 2009, the bridge was also designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_bridge" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_bridge</a></p> Wed, 22 May 2013 10:53:52 -0700 2009-09-19T20:14:11-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (thomaspyttel.com) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/4247777007 40.704798 -73.990473 40.704798 -73.990473 28751217 Manhattan Bridge thomaspyttel.com <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Thomas-Pyttel-Photography/245021402208314" rel="nofollow">Thomas Pyttel Photography</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://thomaspyttel.com" rel="nofollow">thomaspyttel.com</a><br /> <br /> Explore Jan 5, 2010 #315<br /> <br /> The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan (at Canal Street) with Brooklyn (at Flatbush Avenue Extension).

The name &quot;Namib&quot; is of Nama origin and means vast.<br /> <br /> The desert occupies an area of around 80,900 km²[1] (31,200 square miles), stretching about 1,000 miles (1,600 km) along the Atlantic Ocean coast of Namibia. Its east-west width varies from 30 to 100 miles (50-160 km). The Namib Desert also reaches into southwest Angola. It is one of the 500 distinct physiographic provinces of the South African Platform physiographic division.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Having endured arid or semi-arid conditions for at least 55 million years[2], it is considered to be the oldest desert in the world. The Namib's aridity is caused by the descent of dry air of the Hadley Cell, cooled by the cold Benguela current along the coast. It has less than 10 mm (0.4 inches) of rain annually and is almost completely barren.<br /> <br /> A number of unusual species of plants and animals are found only in this desert. One of these is Welwitschia mirabilis, one of the most unusual species. Welwitschia is a shrub-like plant, but grows just two long strap-shaped leaves continuously throughout its lifetime. These leaves may be several meters long, gnarled and twisted from the desert winds. The taproot of the plant develops into a flat, concave disc in age. Welwitschia is notable for its survival in the extremely arid conditions in the Namib, sometimes deriving moisture from the coastal sea fogs.<br /> <br /> Although the desert is largely unpopulated and inaccessible, there are year-round settlements at Sesriem, close to the famous Sossusvlei and a huge group of sand dunes, which at more than 300 meters (984 ft) high are among the tallest sand dunes in the world. The complexity and regularity of dune patterns in its dune sea have attracted the attention of geologists for decades. They still remain poorly understood.<br /> <br /> The interaction between the water-laden air coming from the sea via southerly winds, some of the strongest of any coastal desert, and the dry air of the desert causes immense fogs and strong currents, causing sailors to lose their way. Along with the Skeleton Coast further north, it is notorious as the site of many shipwrecks. Some of these wrecked ships can be found as much as 50 metres (55 yds) inland, as the desert slowly moves westwards into the sea, reclaiming land over a period of many years.<br /> <br /> The Namib desert is an important location for the mining of tungsten, salt and diamonds. As documented in some extraordinary detail in the BBC Planet Earth (TV series) episode #5 on deserts, there is a struggle for existence in this desert by elephants, lions, oryx and other valiant survivors, a struggle that is surprising in that anything can find sustenance here at all. (A pair of oryx is seen on the Namibian coat of arms.)<br /> <br /> Access is by light aircraft from Windhoek (the capital of Namibia, about 480 km (298 mi) north-east of the centre of the desert), Swakopmund and Walvis Bay at the north end of the desert, or overland on gravel roads.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namib" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namib</a></p> Wed, 22 May 2013 10:53:40 -0700 2005-11-24T05:25:21-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (thomaspyttel.com) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/3071904643 -24.144247 15.128173 -24.144247 15.128173 20069844 Namib thomaspyttel.com <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Thomas-Pyttel-Photography/245021402208314" rel="nofollow">Thomas Pyttel Photography</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://thomaspyttel.com" rel="nofollow">thomaspyttel.com</a><br /> <br /> Morning light over the Namib desert in Namibia.<br /> <br /> The Namib Desert is a desert in Namibia and southwest Angola that forms part of the Namib-Naukluft National Park.
