Because the North East Astronomy Forum is on the west side of the Hudson, I need to cross the river somewhere to get to the event. I always choose the Tappan Zee Bridge. Oh wait, that changed! This new cable-stayed bridge was built and then the old truss bridge was demolished. I know it is now called the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, BUT, I was surprised to learn that it is still called the Tappan Zee Bridge! That's a relief! The old truss type bridge was the Tappan Zee Bridge and also called the Gov. Malcolm Wilson Bridge. This is an absolutely stunning work of engineering and it is absolutely beautiful in it's design. And it looks different every time the weather changes, which is why I try and photograph it each time I cross it. I am VERY careful and you will notice there are no cars near me. I do NOT look at the camera, I look at the road and point the camera with some sixth sense and sometimes I get a good composition.

I decided to look up past photos of the Tappan Zee Bridge. There are a lot. And they all look a little different. The last photo was a surprise - the Space Shuttle Enterprise attached to a Boeing 747 from 2012. Wonderful surprise. Betsey
WOW! Thank you Betsey for mentioning looking up past photos of the Tappan Zee Bridge. It is amazing to see so many different photos posted over the years. What a delight. Joan
