This photograph comes from one of our frequent August visits to New York City. New Yorkers reading this are perhaps shaking their heads and wondering about my sanity. There is a reason that people who live there take there vacations in August — heat, humidity, thunderstorms, and all the rest. But over the years we have regularly made August visits — in the early days because that is when I wasn’t teaching, but now out of (arguably perverse?) habit.
But this August visit, as I recall, was relatively pleasant. It certainly was on this day as we walked from our hotel down to the Hudson River, passing beneath this remarkable structure as we approached a riverside park. This supports the highway running down the west side of the city and, I think, it is still more attractive than modern concrete construction that is used today for such things.
