Friday Hunt, 2016-23

It is Friday and time again for Teresa's fun meme Friday Hunt. We are given the clues and we look high and wide for pics that match. I think that I have!

Starts with 'W'. I have two, the left being the 1940 Whitestone Bridge, over the East River between Bronx and Queens NYC. To the right is the 1931 George Washington Bridge over the Hudson River between Manhattan and New Jersey.I've used pics of bothnumber of posts, but just love driving these 1930-40s soaring suspension bridges, although I leave the photo taking to the passenger :)


Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, I-678 South. Taken Oct.2014
George Washington Bridge, I-95 South. Taken August 2000



Week's Favorite: This is the entrance to the Derby Greenway which goes alongside the Naugatuck River. It looks so nice who wouldn't want to take a stroll?


Rough: I suppose that this view is more hard than rough, but the rocks along the banks of the Housatonic River in Shelton CT. I could make for a rough landing, although the ducks don't seem to mind...

Watery Songlines - East River NYC

When driving over a bridge (and using a hand control to go and stop) I tend to keep my eyes on the road and ignore the watery views). However, the always lovely Patti in he passenger seat will take a pic should I request, and this one is being posted for this week's meme Watery Songlines.

Here is on the eastbound side of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge (I-678), entering the Borough of Queens in New York City. The East River is a salt water tidal estuary that begins at the Lower New York Harbor and at this point, is near its end at Long Island Sound. This was a winter day where it had snowed but the sun was attempting to shine through the clouds. 

It is a neat view that I can more fully enjoy when looking at a computer screen instead of when driving down the road...
