This is the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, which connects the Bronx (duh) and Queens. The two towers were built in a mere 18 days. When the bridge opened 70 years ago, the toll was 25 cents. It's now $5.50. And so it goes . . . [See more Skywatch here.]
Beautiful photograph Alexa. A great inspiration for a painting. I have been to NYC and I must admit the bridges are impressive, but the tolls... are pretty high. At the time I was living in San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge toll was a lot cheaper. lol.
As the boyfriend {a New Yorker} says everything cost more in New York. But after all...
I love the clouds in this one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific way to show off those beautiful clouds! Nice skyline coloring, too. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteNow this is magical...definitely not a bridge to nowhere. Okay, this rogue will stop. Ahem. Have a superb tomorrow and an even better weekend.
