In all the years I have lived in New York, every subway I have ever ridden has been underground. They all run underground, right? Wrong. When taking the Q train to Brooklyn the other night, imagine my surprise to find us on the Manhattan Bridge, way up in the air, crossing the East River! What a surprise. So I saw the Brooklyn bridge in the distance and wanted to get a photo of it. Only problem is that the trusses on the bridge I was on were zooming past the window. I must have taken 20 photographs as fast as I could, and only this one didn't have a truss running through the middle of the picture!
Great shot! Persistence pays off. :-)

Learned something new today because I thought all subways were underground. Nice surprise. Cool shot! betsey
ReplyDeleteThat's a great photo. I like the bridge in the background. I'm surprised too, I thought trains were above ground and subways below. Trace
ReplyDeleteI love how much everyone learns from reading this blog, including me! :-)
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, ordinary Brooklyn "usage" allows one to give directions to someone in the form of "go upstairs and get on the subway and get off at such-and-such," and similar constructions.
ReplyDeleteIt's part of "'da way to talk."
