We Found This Picture...

Of our neighborhood....

Taken later in time and about ninety-seven degrees to the right of the perspective as displayed in our header...

Berenice Abbott - 1937

When this photo was taken, you could still see the sky over New Jersey....

Thought some of you might enjoy a nice photograph of The Hell's Gate Bridge with The Triborough Bridge in the backround.

Right in the center of this photograph is exactly where the worst loss of human life tragedy took place, in the United States of America, until the events of September 11, 2001.

(We think that the photographer, Berenice Abbott, was capturing this very, however vacant, image.  To us it is obvious).

The explosive fire of The General Slocum caused the death of more than one thousand people, mostly German-Americans, on June 15, 1904...

So close to shore....

There is a reason they call it the hell gate.

As a side note....

This blurry photo was taken by my friend David, who is wont to break into structures, wander tunnels and the like...

This is what is inside the main stone structure as seen in our header.  We asked him:

"Why is there a section of mannequin spray-painted silver inside of the bridge"?

He said:

"I dunno, there are a whole lot of wine bottles in there too".

We Love New York.

Update: Another Berenice Abbott photograph..
