this is the bridge you drive under when leaving the queens midtown tunnel from manhattan. I've posted a photograph from inside the tunnel on this site before right here. please pop on over to san francisco bay's daily photo to check out the "sunday bridge series". thanks for hosting louis la veche!
I think this photo helps make New York City seem friendly, a place I wouldn't be afraid to drive through. I grew up thinking cities were very dangerous, scary places but down under the bridge like this NYC seems as safe as almost anywhere.
Now there's a familiar sight! Thousands drive under that bridge every day, but I wonder who drives over it (back to Google Maps for the answer to that one).
Nice photo Lily! Did you know all the bridges of the Belt Parkway around Brooklyn have to be rebuilt as they are not up to code? Major re-construction has begun and it will take years to complete...sigh
You have heard of LI & its many stereotypes? You wonder if they may be true but wish not to risk visiting in the event that they are. Be bold then & visit me daily & I promise I will show you many sides of Long Island that you will be both amazed & inspired by.

Another great photo, I love seeing the sites of the East Coast through your photos.
wonderful shot of this bridge. i hope you were not driving.:p
Good one, Lily - certainly a part of urban life.
;-D
I have been driven in NY, but have never driven. I think I'd like to keep it this way. Afraid I'd get terribly lost. Good bridge shot!
The LIE ! It still makes me shudder.

Nice, Lily ... feels like I've been there although probably on foot or in a cab.
@EG Wow, NY is a friendly place ... just bigger than most of our villages -:)
taking the time to photograph after paying the tolls...

I drove in NYC once. I can't remember where. I think it may have been too traumatic. :-)
I'm sure this bridge gets alot of use!

lovely bridge.
It is interesting place.
Are we on a tollway? Nice capture!
Very cool - just a glimpse of this reminds me of the drive from the airport to the city & makes me really wanna go back to NYC & environs soon.
