Charging Bull
4
Charging Bull,which is
sometimes referred to as the
Wall Street Bull or the Bowling
Green Bull, is a bronze sculpture,
originally guerilla art,
by Arturo Di Modica that stands
in Bowling Green Park
in Manhattan, NewYork.
The oversize sculpture depicts
a bull, the symbol of aggressive
financial optimism and
prosperity, leaning back on
its haunches and with its head
lowered as if ready to charge.
The bronze color and hard,
emphasizes the brute force of the
creature. The work was designed
and placed so that viewers
could walk around it,which also
suggests the creature’s own
movement is unrestricted a
point reinforced by the twisting
posture of the bull’s body.

Brooklyn Bridge
5
The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid
cable-stayed/suspension bridge
and is one of the oldest bridges
of either type in the United
States. Completed in 1883,
it connects the boroughs of
Manhattan and Brooklyn by
spanning the East River. You can
walk it, drive it, bike it, or just
admire it. One way or the other,
the Brooklyn Bridge soaring over
the East River is one of New York
City’s most famous routes,both
for tourists and born-and bred
New Yorkers.. The great appeal
of the Brooklyn Bridge is that
the view is all around you: Look
up to see the famous steel-cable
suspension grid, look down
at the water of the New York
harbor, Manhattan, turn back to
see the skyline views expand.
