Edward Hopper, From the Williamsburg Bridge, 1928. Oil on canvas.

In this painting, Hopper depicts the austere facades of four apartment buildings and reduces the steel suspension of the Williamsburg Bridge to the margins. Completed in 1903 and connecting Brooklyn with Manhattan, the structure is indicated only by the unobtrusive railing rising at a slight diagonal along the bottom of the canvas. As opposed to focusing on the bridge that facilitates movement in and out of the city, Hopper creates an image absent of noise or motion. He emphasizes the alienation and anonymity of urban life by including a single figure: a woman sitting alone in a top story window.

Under the Williamsburg Bridge

[pain-is-too-tired]

Just remembered that during Battle At Williamsburg Bridge it's mentioned that during one of Kronos' attacks he knocks off some of his own and Apollo demigods over the bridge.

Were they ever recovered?

What about that kid we see getting dragged away? Was he ever recovered?

How many siblings did the Apollo cabin have to say goodbye to with no body to burn?

Just food for thought :3

The Williamsburg Bridge is an iconic steel suspension bridge that connects Manhattan’s Lower East Side to the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn. Opened in 1903, it was once considered the longest suspension bridge in the world—though it has since been surpassed. Still, it remains an important New York landmark.

Its massive steel framework, so prominent in the photo, is a defining feature of the bridge. The intricate lattice of supports, cables, and crossbeams lends it a distinct look. Robust and functional in design, it captures the imagination of photographers and architecture enthusiasts alike, with lines and geometric shapes that stand out against the city’s gray sky. Additionally, the presence of graffiti and other signs of urban life add character to the scene, reminding us of the thousands of people who traverse this historic structure every day.
