A Unique Opportunity


 Whenever I come back to Long Island, crossing the Throg's Neck Bridge, I always take a quick glance or two to the west to look at this scene - the Whitestone Bridge which is about 2 miles away.  I have even tried photographing this scene while driving (wait, wait wait, here me out...) by holding my camera out at arms length over the passenger seat, pointed out the window.  BUT I NEVER LOOK, I just hold the camera and shoot blindly.  Those photographs invariably have some of the blurred suspension cables between me and the Whitestone Bridge.  BUT... on this day, Kathy was driving and I was a passenger in the right seat and I could concentrate on shooting quickly and anticipating when a space between the suspension cables was clear.  And that's how I finally got this shot!  Safe and sound!  An amazing scene, right?

Great shot of the bridge and the city behind it. The clouds are beautiful in their formation. Trace

Beautiful photo of the bridge, water and buildings in background. The clouds are extra special addition.

So glad that Kathy was driving so you could photograph the Throgs Neck Bridge with the water and clouds. Betsey
