Tappan Zee Bridge, Tarrytown, NY- 1990When we lived in our first apartment in South Nyack we were blessed with spectacular views of the Hudson on an almost daily basis. I became quite spoiled because getting the perfect shot only involved walking the ten feet from my couch to the balcony at just the right time of day. This photo took a little more effort; to shoot a sunset I needed to drive the three miles across the span and park my car. I like how the shadows obliterate the traffic and construction which were and still are a constant on the span.
The bridge opened for traffic on December 15, 1955 and I remember my mom taking me and my two sisters for a ride across which was free that day.
A short blog entry for an easy picture.
Never digital - always film and (sigh) there were a lot more film options back in the '90s.
