the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
photograph by Roger W. Smith
The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge is a suspension bridge connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island. It spans the Narrows, a body of water linking New York Harbor with Lower New York Bay (known as the Loewr Bay) and the Atlantic Ocean.
The bridge was named for the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano (1491-1528).

We told her we would share some photos.
They are posted here.

Yes, this is New York City.
These photographs were taken by me at the northernmost point of Manhattan, in Inwood Hill Park. The view (looking north) is of the Hudson River.
Few New Yorkers, other than those who live in the neighborhood, know of the park or have ever been there.
