the verrazano–narrows bridge

This beautiful piece of engineering art connects Staten Island and Brooklyn. It has always struck me as a majestic part of the landscape of the five boroughs of New York City. I leave you with this….interesting fact from the MTA website: Seasonal contractions and expansions of the steel cables cause the double-decked roadway to be 12 feet lower in the summer than in the winter.

Not quite sure what to say about this. If I were artsy, I might call it, “A Study in the Great Battle Between Wood and Water.”  You thoughts?  🙂

Taken back in July when I went home to New York to be with my parents and help my dad after his 5th knee surgery…yup…that’s a long story. He is doing quite well. Life has been a bit crazy lately but I hope to get back to posting more images here. Thanks for stopping by!

The World Trade Center Transportation Hub seems to a bit out of place amidst the shiny, modern buildings in Lower Manhattan. It sort of looks like a gigantic stegosaurus skeleton that was unearthed during construction. Here is an image taken inside the hub.

This is one of the spectacular views from the One World Observatory located in One World Trade Center in New York. It took less than 47 seconds for the video-screens-for-walls elevator to soar 102 stories!

So grateful to be back home visiting my parents in New York. Here is Jones Beach on a beautiful evening….
