FEBRUARY THEME: BRIDGES
Crossing the Hudson Looking for Love
A more profound metaphor for bridges that connect
Like many others, I have always had a fascination for bridges. It began by understanding how they are built from an architectural and design standpoint.
I wondered: How deep is the water? How do they anchor the beams to the bottom of the river or ocean?
In my hometown in India, I had to cross one bridge or another to access the rest of the city. The water levels under the bridge directly indicated our city's drought and water shortage. There were times when I would see children playing cricket under the bridge.
Once I moved to New York, it was bridges galore. Scott-Ryan Abt already covered the bridges over the East River. I will travel up north with you along the Hudson River.
The Hudson
The Hudson River is 315 miles long, starting up at the Adirondack Mountains, flowing south through the Hudson Valley, making its way between New York and New Jersey into the New York Harbor and joining the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the most scenic rides along the river going north to Upstate New York or the reverse.
