Henderson Place and

Beyond

East End Avenue ends at 90th Street, and you spill into this view

River with bridges

The river beckons

10044

It was occupied by a series of hospital facilities not so long ago. There was a VA facility just under the 59th Street Bridge, which was accessible by an elevator from the bridge walkway.

Once development started, nearly every inch of the waterfront was taken over by bulky apartment buildings.

I am not a student of Roosevelt Island, but I think they were mostly coops. There is a short bridge to Queens on the eastern shore. A tram and a subway line go to-and-from Manhattan. These are met by a bus that circumnavigates the island.

It’s a dense landscape but a pleasant view from the East River Esplanade.

Crisp-and-hot & Changes

It’s a strange phenomenon this brutal heat early in the summer but met with crisp clear air.

This was the entrance when the Riverfront was a hotel, right on the riverside.

Change is a constant. Constant change is the way the city moves. This corner was Quality Eats. It’s prepping for its change.

Raining

Watching the river and watching to not get splashed is hard. Isn’t it?

It’s a matter of focus.

Out by the river

Did you ever?

I bet you thought I had given up on those clouds. No, sir, not these ones!
