Multimodal Suspension

Well alright, the Queensboro is a cantilever bridge, but I liked the title.  I offer my apologies for the soft posting as of late, my schedule has not allowed my much to this blog.

Up to 70% Off Creepiness

Taken on the Upper East Side, near 59th and 2nd.

I’ve seem it a million times; quite inevitable really.  When times get tough, 86 the secular holiday icon.

On 59th, near 2nd Avenue on the Upper East Side.

Foot of the Bridge Photography I, The Manhattan Side

This post is a collection of scenes from the foot of the 59th / Queensboro / Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge on the Manhattan side of the East River.

Crowded skyline view full of fire escapes, bridges, pylons, signs, cables, and air conditioners.  Taken from 60th street, near 1st Avenue.

I have to admit, the wonderful blur here was actually an accident, courtesy of a large smudge on the lens.  Taken at the corner of 60th and 3rd.

The Roosevelt Island skyline, Roosevelt Island Tram, and the bridge taken from the East River Waterfront Esplanade. 

Demonstrating the scale of perspective that is New York City.  Manhattan, the FDR, East River, Queens, Brooklyn, and many other NYC items all under the watchful eye of the Queensboro Bridge.

On The Hill

Lexington Avenue, Upper East Side, in the lower 90’s, where things get a little hilly…

Upper East Side Kaboom

No, not a product being verbosely obnoxiously pitched by by the late Billy Mays, but the ongoing construction of the 2nd Avenue Subway construction on the Upper East Side.  This shot was taken last year on, you guessed it, 2nd Avenue, but the street is in similar condition and will be for some time.

Under (and Beside) the Bridge of 59th Street

The Queensboro (or 59th Street) Bridge is about to be renamed the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, after the former New York City mayor. The renaming sounds about as cluncky as the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, née Triboro Bridge. It may be just me, but when you rename timeless icons after a politicians or a company, it takes a little away from its status of timeless. Maybe I should take my case to The People's Court ;) Rant is complete... You can also see the Roosevelt Island Tramway in the background, which was closed for construction at the time of this shot.

The Franklin

Near the corner of 86th and Lexington; the heart of the Upper East Side...
