view from the ferry



Took this from the ferry landing on the Staten Island
side (first time for this borough, I think).  The tall buildings
on the left are New Jersey, on the right Manhattan—with
the Statue of Liberty in between. Last time I rode the
ferry, it was snowing.  It amazes (and pleases)
me that it's still free!

    Now I have, again, to go get my NY city guide to figure out, again, the geography of the area !!!!
    And did I understand correctly ? The ferry is free ? If so, I am so impressed ! I never thought anything could be free around NYDC !!LOL !

    Great photo, especially with the cloud. The ferry is still free? Amazing.

    Free? How amazing! I can't get over how tiny everything is from this vantage point. For some reason, it still looks cold to me...

    Thanks all!
    Marylene -- maybe you and I (and Lily H!) need to ride the ferry when you come here next month!
