| Title: |
On the bridge |
| Description: |
The Triboro Bridge provided the platform for taking this photo of LISE, on the adjacent Hell Gate. The bridge is a long viaduct over Ward and Randalls Islands, with the famous steel arch crossing the channel where the East River meets the Harlem River. LISE is on the viaduct portion, and will shortly enter the Bronx. One good thing about slow traffic-sometimes you get the shot!! |

Over mean streets |

LISE is slowly approaching Hell Gate, now off the bridge over the Grand Central Parkway, and passing over Astoria Blvd. How about $1.08 for gas?? |
