The George Washington Bridge (known informally as the GW Bridge, the GWB, the GW, or the George) is a suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River, connecting the Washington Heights neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City to Fort Lee in New Jersey.
Can you spot the small sliver of a moon? I almost edited it out of the photo by accident. It looked like a speck of dust. :)
I'm trying to get some photos posted to Instagram as well:

Hope all of you are enjoying the weekend! It was nice to get outdoors, despite the frigid temps.
The last of the GW Bridge images. While the sun didn't quite peek out for the last image I posted taken from the higher vantage point, by the time I got down to the base the sun was glaring. Not what I was hoping for, so this one took a little extra effort with exposure blending in PS. However, I really liked the way the line of the rock mirrored the line of the bridge, so I wanted to include it. I'm amazed by the tidal differences of the Hudson River. Those algae-covered rocks at low tide are super slippery!

...are posing for another person's camera. But the chic onlooker to the scene puts on a megawatt smile for mine. Hello there, dear! Taken at the Little Red Lighthouse festival, at the edge of the Hudson River, at the base of the George Washington Bridge. Right in my neck of the woods! The clown's wearing a little paper clipped to her collar that says, "DumDum the Clown for Governor." It was an election year whose results are best not remembered... NYC

George Washington Bridge connects Washington Heights, NY with Fort Lee, NJ. During the revolution George Washington had two forts built in these spots to prevent the British from going up the Hudson River. The New York side fort was called Fort Washington and the New Jersey side was called (you guessed it ) Fort Lee. Both forts were destroyed by the British.

Last spring , while in NY I saw this shot through the trees (with leaves) but didn't have my camera. While in NY for the holidays I went back to see if I could find the spot and took this shot.
The fog was intense at the G.W. Bridge in NY/NJ today; but the Canada Geese loved it ☁️

The area immediately across from the Cloisters was purchased by the Rockefeller family so that their museum would have views of an undeveloped Hudson River and Palisades. Their vision lect us with this beautiful park where, even the tallest manmade structures like the George Washington Bridge, are often hidden from view as one drives along Henry Hudson Drive.

Since when did people start wearing caps and knickers?
Also, our cellphones stopped working and the car's GPS screen went blank.
There was a lot of construction on the George Washington bridge, and we decided to avoid it. Instead, we took the Steamboat Ferry to get across the Hudson River. Everyone kept staring at our car, but I'm not sure why.

George Washington Bridge | NJ/NY | USA
A double-decked suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River, connecting Washington Heights, NY to Fort Lee, NJ.
It's 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.
Construction on the bridge began in October 1927 as a project of the Port of New York Authority. When construction started, the estimated cost of the bridge was $75,000,000.
The bridge was dedicated on October 24, 1931, and opened to traffic the following day. 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.
From September 9, to 13, 2013, dedicated toll lanes for one of the Fort Lee entrances to the bridge's upper level were reduced from 3 to 1 lane without notification to local government officials and emergency responders on orders from aides and appointees of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a Republican, causing a political controversy. This controversy later became known as "Bridgegate".
