Tappan Zee Bridge, New York

The Tappan Zee Bridge stretches across the Hudson River at one of its widest parts, about twenty miles upriver of New York. Its curving ends are unusual for a bridge, though half of it used to be more causeway than bridge.  I used to drive across it all the time, and my father lived as a kid near one terminus in Tarrytown. This picture captures the bridge in a transitional state: if you look closely, you will see that it is in fact not just one bridge but two, the new lighter one just opening when this picture was shot, and the darker line of the old one of my memories that was about to be torn down.
