Under the GWB looking at NY from Fort Lee
This was taken on New Years Eve from a park that is under the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee NJ. There is also a park up above on a cliff that has beautiful views of the bridge and the surrounding area as well.It seemed kind of creepy being under this massive bridge with all the traffic rumbling far overhead.
On Saturday we did end up with temps in the 70's and Sunday it was in the 50's, still very warm for January. They say the cold air is coming, I'm going to miss the warm stuff! Although a little snow would be nice.

Quite the perspective! I like how it came out! Nice job!
Strong and supeb composition!
Great pic, the strong lines of the bridge construction make for a great feel.
Agreed about the weather, its been a little barmey here too on the other side of the pond. 13c or 55f at 10 in the evening!
Real stunning composed. The angle works great with this bridge. Like it.
Interesting perspective. Nice composition.
Enjoy your warm weather.
Very nice perspective. This is another great monochrome shot.
I love this perspective. Good capture. There's always dark areas in such shots, I guess solution is HDR. Here's the one I took last year. Couldn't avoid top right.
looks like the underbelly of a giant monster :) Nice angle!
Nice composition Laurie. Happy belated New Year!
So, that's what that thing looks like underneath! I've only been over it twice. Once on the way to Maine from Pennsylvania, and once on the way back, both times at night. The one thing that I remember about it was traffic. Lots and lots of traffic. It sure looks better from this side! :-)
laurie, I like the angle of this shot. The BW gave it this antique feel...happy new year.
Cool shot. Nice perspective.
It stands strong and mighty from this viewpoint. The sound of traffic when standing under a large bridge always makes my heart beat a little faster, even though there's nothing to fear. The rumbling is just so booming.
Interesting perspective - I really like it. The B&W works perfectly.
Excellent shot, I love the perspective. The black and white is a cool choice, too.
Nice symmetry Laurie!
WoW! Laurie, here is a great shot! What was the focal length on this one if you don't mind me asking?
Nothing to say : fantastic.
Thanks again for your comments on my photographs.
Be carefull with the cold air.
Have a good evening.
Yvon.
INTERESTING Shot, like the way its dark at the top of the bridge :)

Great angle, great perspective. Great shot.
Very nice point of view, quite different from the normal side shot. With all the intersecting lines it looks wonderful in B&W.
Wonderful image,excellent bw
ahh yesterday I coudnt open the comment section, today i can ... Lovely shot, i like the composition very much ... and interesting backdrop too.
Aww. You spent New Year's Eve under a bridge? Poor Laurie.
As everyone said.... great perspective and angle on this one. I like your composition.... the heaviness at the top that gives you the feeling of really being under the bridge. This is WAY belated but... wishing you a very happy and healthy 2007!
I lke the symmetry in the image (Except for that big building!).
