 Zakim Bridge in Boston. World's Widest Cable-Stayed Bridge. 300 Feet Tall, 180 Feet Wide
Tried to get a nicer angle, but could not stand in the middle of highways and such. This one I liked best. Boring sky and grey structure seemed to cry out for B&W

Like the angle of this shot. The crop really adds to the impact of the support structure.

Nice picture - Maybe the border is a tad too thick for the pic? Nice tones though
