    Default Happy Birthday Brooklyn Bridge!

    I just got back from the BB celebration its only a few blocks away from me so I and took some pics and made a small vid. Ok bad vid but its something.

    At the foot of the Bridge they had this cool contraption that was supposed to be a Tunnel dug from the Brooklyn Bridge to the London Bridge. At each end of the Tunnel was a huge Hi def round screen about 12 feet from the tunnel entrance giving the illusion that you were looking deep into the tunnel.

    The screen was a live feed from the viewers at the other end in London and they saw the live feed from our end. This gave the appearance of looking through the tunnel directly to London.

    I could not get in close enough to the entrance to get a good vid or pic of the Brit folk but they were really clear, sharp and life size!

    Now if only they made a tunnel to Japan!!!

    The Bridge turned 125 today!!! Long live the BB.
