The George Washington Bridge – known informally as the GW Bridge, the GWB, the GW, or the George – is a double-decked suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River between the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City and Fort Lee, New Jersey. As of 2016, the George Washington Bridge carried over 103 million vehicles per year,[8] making it the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge.[9][10] It is owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, a bi-state government agency that operates several bridges, tunnels and airports, as well as marine seaports, and the PATH rapid transit system.
The bridge, an integral conduit within the New York metropolitan area, has an upper level that carries four lanes in each direction and a lower level with three lanes in each direction, for a total of 14 lanes of travel. The speed limit on the bridge is 45 mph (72 km/h), though congestion frequently slows traffic on both weekdays and weekends. The bridge's upper level also carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Interstate 95 (I-95) and U.S. Route 1/9 (US 1/9) cross the river via the bridge. US 46, which lies entirely within New Jersey, terminates halfway across the bridge at the state border with New York. At its eastern terminus in New York City, the bridge connects with the Trans-Manhattan Expressway (part of I-95, connecting to the Cross Bronx Expressway).
The bridge sits near the sites of Fort Washington (in New York) and Fort Lee (in New Jersey), which were fortified positions used by General George Washington and his American forces as they attempted to deter the occupation of New York City in 1776 during the American Revolutionary War. Unsuccessful, Washington evacuated Manhattan by crossing between the two forts.
Construction on the bridge began in October 1927 as a project of the Port of New York Authority. The bridge's chief engineer was Othmar Ammann, with Cass Gilbert as architect. Geologists made 300-foot (91 m) test bores on the New Jersey side to determine if the geological strata would support the bridge. When construction started, the estimated cost of the bridge was $75,000,000. It was expected to carry 8 million vehicles and 1.5 million pedestrians in its first year of operation.
The bridge was dedicated on October 24, 1931, and opened to traffic the following day.[16][17] The George Washington Bridge, with a span of 4,760 feet (1,450 m) in total – including a main span of 3,500 feet (1,100 m) – was the longest main bridge span in the world at the time, at nearly double the 1,850 feet (560 m) of the previous record holder, the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. It held this title until the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937.

I always get excited when the creative and artistic George Wink's asks me to do a favour and take a photograph for him. George's projects are becoming increasingly interesting and George is so laid back, he let's everyone take in his work as they do or don't. For me, I tend to appreciate it more by studying the art in a photograph either before or after seeing the real thing.

Suave singing star Georges Guétary (1915-1997) performed on the London and Broadway stages, but the light tenor achieved his greatest renown in France, where he had a musical career of nearly 60 years. To international cinema audiences he is best known as Gene Kelly's rival for the affections of Leslie Caron in An American in Paris.
Georges Guetary was born Lambros Worlou, to Greek parents in 1915 in Alexandria, Egypt. His uncle was the classical pianist Tasso Janopoulo, who was an accompanist to such violinists as Fritz Kreisler, Jascha Heifetz, Yehudi Menuhin and Nathan Milstein. Through his influence Lambros went to Paris in 1934 and studied music and voice. Humming a sung in the office of a concert organizer while on an errand for his teacher, he was asked to audition, he recounted in his memoirs, and left with a one-night singing contract. He became the singer in the orchestra of Jo Bouillon. Not long after making this first stage appearance in 1937, his career took off when he was discovered by Henri Varna, director of the Casino de Paris and became there the singing partner of the music hall queen Mistinguett. The following year he made his first film appearance in the musical Quand le cœur chante/When the Heart Sings (1938, Bernard Roland). In 1942 he changed his Greek name because German occupiers in wartime France were sending enemy nationals to concentration camps. When he worked in Toulouse as a Maitre d’Hotel he met the accordeonist Fredo Gardoni who engaged him as a singer and let him make his first record. Another important meeting was the one with Basque composer Francis Lopez in 1943. Lopez created the chansons Caballero and Robin des Bois for him, which became huge successes. During the liberation everybody was singing his song, A Honolulu (1945), also written by Lopez. That same year Georges Guétary also appeared in the film Le Cavalier noir/The Black Cavalier (1945, Gilles Grangier) in which he again interpreted many songs by Francis Lopez: Cavalier, Avec l'amour, La plus belle, and especially Chic à Chiquito, another enormous success. His next film, Les Aventures de Casanova/Loves of Casanova (1946, Jean Boyer), was another smash hit.
In 1947 Georges Guetary achieved acclaim on the London stage, when he was imported from Paris by the impresario C. B. Cochran to star with Lizbeth Webb in the operetta Bless the Bride at the Adelphi Theater. He played the role of a handsome French actor who elopes with a young English girl on the day she was to marry someone else. The bride is parted from her husband by the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 and believes him killed, but the lovers are reunited in time for the final curtain. Praise for his performance led to offers from Broadway. In 1950, he made his debut at the 46th Street Theater, starring with Nanette Fabray in Arms and the Girl, a musical set in the days of the American Revolution. Critic Brooks Atkinson wrote in The New York Times: “The part of her foreign-born suitor is played by Georges Guetary, who can act a character and sing a song with gusto, and make stage love in the Continental style, which has obvious advantages.” This success paved the road to Hollywood, where he appeared in his best known film, An American in Paris (1951, Vincente Minnelli), built around the music of George Gershwin. Guétary was the focus of attention in a spectacular scene in which he strutted up and down a majestic staircase singing I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise while flanked by willowy and scantily (but flamboyantly) clad showgirls; and he shared the spotlight with Gene Kelly in a rousing rendition of ‘S Wonderful.
In 1950 Georges Guétary returned to France and became a French citizen. In 1955, he married Jeanine Guyon, then the only female producer in French television. He starred in two enormously successful operettas by Francis Lopez, Pour Don Carlos (420 performances at the Théâtre du Châtelet) and La Route fleurie/The Flowered Road (four years at the ABC theatre) with comedian Bourvil and Annie Cordy. Guétary starred in several more stage operettas, including Pacifico (1958), La Polka des lampions (1962), and Monsieur Carnaval (1965), with music by Charles Aznavour. In 1981, Francis Lopez again asked Georges Guétary for a new operetta, Aventure à Monte-Carlo, which had a honourable succes. After this the two created more operettas like L'Amour à Tahiti (1983), Carnaval aux Caraïbes (1985) and Le Roi du Pacifique (1986), but they couldn’t repeat their successes of the 1950’s. Among Guétary’s most popular recordings were Bambino, Papa Aime Maman and La Samba Bresilienne. He appeared in French, Spanish and German films, including Pluma al viento/Plume au vent/Feather in the Wind (1952, Louis Cuny, Ramon Torrado), Le Baron Tzigane/The Gypsy Baron (1954, Arthur Maria Rabenalt) - an adaptation of the Strauss operetta Der Zigeunerbaron, and Le chemin du paradis/The Road To Paradise (1955, Hans Wolff, Willi Forst) an alternate language version of Die Drei von der Tankstelle (1955), a remake of the 1930 hit musical. Guétary also sang and danced on television and gave some 40 gala performances a year until his retirement on the Riviera in 1995. Georges Guétary, who lived in Cannes, died of a heart attack in 1997 in Mougins on the French Riviera. He was 82, and is survived by his wife and two children, director Hélène Guétary and actor François Guétary.
