The George Washington Bridge is a toll suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River, connecting Washington Heights in the Manhattan to Fort Lee in New Jersey by means of Interstate 95, U.S. Route 1/9. U.S. Route 46 ends halfway across the bridge at the state border. Initially named the Hudson River Bridge, it was renamed in honor of George Washington, who fortified positions on both ends--Fort Washington and Fort Lee--during the American Revolutionary War. The GWB is one of the world's busiest bridges in terms of vehicle traffic. It carries over 100,404,000 vehicles annually, with current AADT daily estimates of nearly 300,000.
Groundbreaking began in October 1927, as a project of the Port of New York Authority, under chief engineer Othmar Ammann, and architect Cass Gilbert. Dedicated on October 24, 1931, and opened to traffic the following day, it had the longest main span in the world. At 1,067 m (3,500 ft) it nearly doubled the previous record held by the Ambassador Bridge, only to be eclipsed by the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937 and many others over the years, including New York's own Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in 1964. The total length of the bridge is 1,451 m (4,760 ft).
As originally built, the bridge offered six lanes of traffic, but in 1946, two additional lanes were provided on what is now the upper level. A second, lower deck, which had been anticipated in Ammann's original plans, was added, opening to the public on August 29, 1962 and increasing capacity by 75 percent. It also originally planned for the towers to be encased in concrete and granite but cost considerations during the Great Depression and favorable aesthetic critiques of the bare steel towers, resulted in the exposed steel towers, with their distinctive criss-crossed bracing, which have become one of the bridge's most identifiable characteristics.
The George Washington Bridge is home to the world's largest free-flying American flag, which is flown on on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, and September 11. The flag, located under the upper arch of the New Jersey tower, drapes vertically for 90 feet.. The flag's stripes are approximately 5 feet wide and the stars measure about 4 feet in diameter.
The George Washington Bridge was designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1981.
The George Washington Bridge was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1982.

I love this top! The fit is really comfy and it was so easy to sew up. You can do it in one evening.

This has been my leisurely knitting project over the past few weeks. I haven't been able to muster up starting something more complicated in this heat...
Spoiler Alert ...
This is the view of from the Johnston Ridge Observatory revealed as the drapes open at the conclusion of the visitor center film.
The Johnston Ridge Observatory (JRO) is located at the terminus of the Spirit Lake Memorial Highway, on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Southwest Washington State. This vantage point brings visitors within five miles of the north side of the volcano and offers spectacular views of the still-steaming lava dome, crater, pumice plain and landslide deposit. JRO is located on Johnston Ridge which was named in honor of U.S.Geological Survey (USGS) volcanologist David A. Johnston who was on duty at the USGS, Coldwater II observation post during the May 18, 1980, eruption. David Johnston was one of 57 people who lost their lives in the eruption. JRO is the third visitor center to be constructed by the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument and it's completion marks the end of a 12-year $100 million capital investment program. The one-story, 16,000 square-foot concrete and glass structure is set back into the ridge and has special, non-refective glass to blend into the surrounding blast zone terrain. The building was constructed at a cost of $8.9 million with $1.65 million of interpretive exhibits for a total cost of $10.5 million. Of this amount, $5 million was contributed by the State of Washington. The observatory will house seismic, deformation, and other monitoring equipment that will be relayed to the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver for analysis.

... over a rope in an outdoor cage this unique icicle caught my eye. Thank you Hugh for pointing it out!
Drape me, take me, hide me away.
What most attracted me to click this picture was the way clouds draped the setting sun. For the first time I felt that the Sun wanted to say something unusual. It seemed that the sun is crying for help, support, wants someone to listen to his yearns. But all of us are busy. So busy in our life that even if we notice we don't really care to help! This reminds me of a song Phil Collins - "Another Day In Paradise".
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
