59th Street Bridge

59th Street Bridge

Over the last couple of weeks I have taken a few morning walks at sunrise and have plenty of photos from those walks to share, s and some I have shared already, so I decided this morning to look through some of my photos in my folders that I haven't shared yet and ended up going to one of my favorite subjects in NYC

My favorite Bridge without a doubt in NYC is the The Queensboro Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge – because its Manhattan end is located between 59th and 60th Streets – and officially titled the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge,

Ever since I heard the Feeling Groovy Song by Simon and Garfunkel I dreamed of visiting NYC and seeing the bridge.

I was 6 when the song came out and probably heard it about that age and remember reading or being told about the 59th Street Bridge and saying to myself I would visit and see it one day.

I never expected at that age or even in my early 20’s that I would ever make it to visit NYC, At that Stage I dont think I had even made it to the south Island of New Zealand at that stage, but its funny how life can give you turns good or bad and you can never know what will happen.

As it happened I ended up travelling a lot having been to over 60 Countries and ended up working in NYC for close to 20 years and got to see this bridge almost every working day.
And now onto the shots I found

Almost every working day I was in NYC I would make a stroll by the East River and get a few of the Bridge

Perhaps if I had to pick anything I missed from NYC, well let me pick two things, The 59th Street bridge and the Chrysler Building, both with such style and I never tired of seeing each day

I'm at work and dreaming of retirement - this dream will also come true in many, many years 🤣
But I also have had some time for photo editing today, so the day was not completely lost.

I wish you also a wonderful Sunday, JJ 🌞

As it happened I ended up travelling a lot having been to over 60 Countries and ended up working in NYC for close to 20 years and got to see this bridge almost every working day.

Visiting over 60 countries? That is definitely not a cheap thing. You probably also have a profession with good financial stability to be able to financially afford that.

Not all all, I am comfortable, but the travel was for the most part for my job and often to places most have no wish to visit

Just gorgeous!!!!

And when I saw 59th street I was like ...hello lamppost, whatcha knowin? I come to watch your flowers growin!

Hahahahahahaha

And now I'll be singing it all day!! And I love it 😍

I love that song and love your photos! The sky looks so awe-some! Hahahaha

Thanks
That song came into my head every time I saw the bridge lol

Strange you remembered from childhood, then seeing it daily never tired of photographing this wonderful sight.

Extraordinary one does reflect back fondly about places one has seen, enjoyed in all types of weather throughout ones working life, sights and sounds all familiar you eventually look back missing them.

Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing incredible early morning light on the bridge and buildings.

6 years old???
Hive has made me thought of my childhood a couple of times!
WOW, 60 countries!

Well I am not sure if that was when I first heard the song,
Have a super Sunday

Sorry, I am way late!

That is a really fantastic looking bridge. Great shots of it.

It is a real cool bridge, the offices I worked in were all near the East River so I saw the bridge almost every working day

Hi there, @tattoodjay I have always love the structures and designs of bridges they all have a unique beauty about them and this bridge is one of them great photos.

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

It is my pleasure @tattoodjay :)

Life is funny like that, isn't it? I truly thought I would keep working in NYC and live in Connecticut until I died. I had no idea that I would become a stranger in my own city and yet, it almost feels that way when I go back.

Familiar, just like an older uncle, and I even know many secret things about it, yet, I can tell, I no longer belong. I can tell it is too long I have been gone.

The 59th Street Bridge is truely the favorite of all my things and then I migrate to Grand Central Station, Little Italy, and Chinatown, Empire State Building because... Empire State Building and yes! The Chrysler Building.

Okay, I love it all and I love this post!

Isn’t there so much to live in NYC

Isn’t strange when you look back at the turns life has given us

The bridge looks amazing and the photos did justice to its beauty
