Empire state building on the left

On my recent visit to Brooklyn, New York, I was walking towards Brooklyn bridge, I decided to venture into a different direction. I went under the Manhattan bridge observed that at the junction of Water street and Washington Street, there were so many people on the road taking pictures. At first I thought, that it was difficult for the cars to pass by. At first I thought that some celebrity must be there. So l too became curious and explored the street. To my astonishment, I saw the majestic empire state building framed inside the Manhattan bridge.
