Over the last few years, while riding local buses
from Englewood, NJ into the Lincoln Tunnel, I have admired the views
of New York across the Hudson River from Weehawken. But more often than not, when I whipped out my camera, cars got
in the way. Today, miraculously, for a brief span, none did, so I used the
opportunity to snap this picture.
Yet another in a series of photos I took this past
Saturday, on West Street in New York—in this
case, looking south, on the esplanade along the Hudson River.
I took this big view of a small city—Providence,
Rhode Island—from the small but beautiful (and, given its vista, breathtaking)
Prospect Terrace Park, back when I was vacationing in the New England metropolis in
late October.
Normally, on the long local bus route from
Englewood, NJ to the Port Authority in New York, I occupy myself with all kinds of reading.
But invariably, when I get to Weehawken, I become pleasantly distracted by the
view—particularly on a sunny (albeit freezing) day such as this morning, when I
snapped this shot..jpg)
I took the image accompanying this post a couple of
years ago, while on a bus passing through Weehawken, NJ. It’s a scene that I
and thousands of other commuters have beheld every day. But after 9/11, I would
never be able to take for granted its reality—its enduring miracle—again.
