The Queensboro Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge – because its Manhattan end is located between 59th and 60th Streets – and officially titled the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, is a cantilever bridge over the East River in New York City that was completed in 1909. It connects the neighborhood of Long Island City in the borough of Queens with Manhattan, passing over Roosevelt Island.

Round trip tickets are just $2.50. A far cry from tourists attractions in Chicago. I like the fact that the average Joe can see the city like this without having to own / rent a dwelling that's priced out of reach. Yea cool view.
Originally steam powered, the Duquesne Incline was built to carry cargo up and down Mt. Washington in the late 19th century. It later carried passengers, particularly Mt. Washington residents who were tired of walking up footpaths to the top. Inclines were then being built all over Mt. Washington. But as more roads were built on “Coal Hill” most of the other inclines were closed. By the end of the 1960s, only the Monongahela Incline and the Duquesne Incline remained.
In 1962, the incline was closed, apparently for good. Major repairs were needed, and with so few patrons, the incline's private owners did little. But local Duquesne Heights residents launched a fund-raiser to help the incline. It was a huge success, and on July 1, 1963, the incline reopened under the auspices of a non-profit organization dedicated to its preservation.
The incline has since been totally refurbished. The cars, built by the J. G. Brill and Company of Philadelphia, have been stripped of paint to reveal the original wood. An observation deck was added at the top affording a view of Pittsburgh's "Golden Triangle", and the Duquesne Incline is now one of the city's most popular tourist attractions.

Was a naughty boy at work today and spent my 'lunch break' Alt-Tabbing between a myriad of end of course reports (finished at last!) and my Flickr contacts recent images. I was astonished by the quality of the images, you guys are producing such wonderful pics!
To cut a long story short I came home like a bear with a sore head and just had to get out with the camera.
Hope you like:)
P.S. Guess it qualifies as a fence so Happy FFF to one and all!
