A "C" painted on the rock of Manhattan's "opposite side" on the Harlem River at Spuyten Duyvil, The Bronx, New York.
Wikipedia says: "Spuyten Duyvil is the name of a subsection of the Riverdale section in New York City which refers to the southernmost section of Riverdale, below West 232nd Street, or below 239th Street by some definitions.
The area is named after Spuyten Duyvil Creek, where "Spuyten Duyvil" literally means "Spouting Devil" or Spuitende Duivel in Dutch; a reference to the strong and wild tidal currents found at that location. It may also be translated as "Spewing Devil" or "Spinning Devil", or more loosely as "Devil's Whirlpool" or "Devil's Spate." Spui and spuit are still today commonly used Dutch words involving outlets for water.
Spuyten Duyvil neighborhood is home to The Henry Hudson Memorial Park and the Henry Hudson Bridge, which connects it to the island of Manhattan. It is also the location of the Spuyten Duyvil train station, which is served by the Hudson Line of the Metro-North Railroad. [...]
Saint Nicholas Avenue in Manhattan was originally an Indian path named Weekquaeskeek, which accommodated travelers going north to Spuyten Duyvil.
In 1642, Anthony Van Corlaer died while attempting to swim across the Hudson from Spuyten Duyvil. A witness to Van Corlaer's death stated that "the devil" in the shape of a giant fish swam up and proceeded to "seize the sturdy Antony by the leg and drag him beneath the waves." This may be the earliest recorded shark attack in the New World."

Just two days after I took this photo, a passenger train on its way to Grand Central derailed just on the other side of the station, maybe a quarter mile further west. At least four people die, and 64 were injured.

C-GVRA (KB895) - AVRO Lancaster Mk. X - Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum
at Hamilton International Airport (YHM)
manufactured in 1945 by Victory Aircraft in Malton, Ontario
In summer 2016 Lancaster FM213 (also known as VeRA, KB726, or the Mynarski Memorial Lancaster) has been painted and will be flown in the temporary markings of Lady Orchid, Lancaster KB895, WL-O.
The temporary markings are only applied to the port side of the aircraft as the usual VR-A, KB726 markings will remain on the starboard side.
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN OUR LANCASTER & LADY ORCHID -
With only 10.5 hours of flying on the airframe, our Lancaster FM213 was heavily damaged when the undercarriage collapsed at Trenton, Ontario during a 1952 ferry flight. The centre section was badly damaged and the aircraft was almost considered unsalvageable.
A replacement centre section was located in Penhold, Alberta, from Lancaster KB895, a wartime veteran of 434 RCAF Squadron with 35 operations and known as Lady Orchid. After repairs were completed, Lancaster FM213 could be considered a hybrid of sorts - part FM213 and part KB895.
