Shadow Shot Sunday - East River Classic

The iconic Brooklyn Bridge, facing Manhattan across the East River. Photo captured by Patti

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back, and this week I am ready! This was taken by the lovely Patti as we helped our son move to his new residence in Brooklyn NY in December. This is I what she captured as we moved south on the I-278 Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in the city - a 1930s relic of danger that requires the driver to pay close attention to the large crowds of maniacal NYC taxis and drivers - best to leave the photo taking to the co-pilot/first officer...

This is of course is the iconic and stunningly beautiful Brooklyn Bridge. The stone arches are works of art, and despite its size and age (opened in 1883), it still stands as a strong and stylish gateway to Manhattan. Shadows included.

Whimsical Windows - Bridge & Monument

Toby hosts the fun Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors, and we look at interesting architectural detail on our travels. Today it is the castle like monument sitting upon the Memorial Bridge spanning the Wepawaug River in downtown Milford CT. It was built in 1889 at the site of the town's first mill upon the river. As it was built for the 250th anniversary the year it opened, we can assume the mill was far older. The other shot was taken from inside a restaurant (with reflections) that is perched just downstream of the monument. As modern as Milford looks in this era, the fact that it was incorporated in 1639 is amazing...

Whimsical Windows - Profiles in driving

I-376 Fort Pitt Bridge, Pittsburgh PA,1999

Cross Parkway, Route 15, Wallingford CT, more recently...

Toby graciously hosts the fun Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors where we look for windows of seriousness, or fun. I choose the latter :)

Patti has the camera on road trips when I am driving. On occasion, the driver's profile may appear when least the driver least expects it...however, these window views offer an eclectic view of the driver's chin from way back then to now...thanks to Toby for the meme and Patti for the flattering profiles...

Ruby Tuesday 2 - Bricks and mortar

At the Maple Street Bridge, crossing the Naugatuck River, Ansonia Connecticut

Ruby Tuesday is back, and we adhere to the simple and basic premise: red, a lot or a little. Today it is a local view down the newly renovated Maple Street bridge in our town of Ansonia. The old factories are not as busy as in decades past. However, the factories were built in an industrial where equal amounts of brick and quality made impressive brick buildings. Though old, they maintain a functional charm and beauty many years later...Sorry about MMTs laptop!
