It’s been a long time since a Caribbean vacation, but here’s a shot from one.

bayonne

One of the longest steel arch bridges in the world, the Bayonne Bridge spans the Kill Van Kull to link Bayonne, New Jersey, with the Port Richmond area of Staten Island, New York. It is one of the most spectacular bridges in the metropolitan area, with a mid-span clearance of 150 feet that permits ocean-going vessels to use this entrance to Port Newark and the Elizabeth-Port Authority Marine Terminal without interference.
The Bayonne Bridge was awarded the prize for the most beautiful steel arch bridge of 1931 by the American Institute for Steel Construction. The design of the arch features a slender, slightly tapered hyperbolic curve over the roadway. The trusses of the arch are a pleasing pattern of repetitive regular triangles.
Took a ride down to Bayonne today with my tour guide, Dawn.

It’s that big day again. Renee and I are married 16 years. I’m still waiting for an official in St. Thomas to call and say that ‘there’s been a mixup’. I think today is that day. Wish me luck.

Not great pictures by any means. I’m still amazed that you can actually take pictures of the moon at all.
