Two Bridges over the Hudson (with Prisma filter)



Here's another image from our recent road trip from Massachusetts to Nashville. We began with a northern route through Western Mass and upstate New York, eventually heading south through Ohio to Tennessee.  I took this picture on July 24, our first day on the road, as we were crossing the Hudson River into New York. Tonight I added the "Vivid" filter from the Prisma app. The blue bridge is called the Castleton Bridge, and the older bridge in the background is the Alfred H. Smith Memorial Bridge (built for train traffic).  I got excited when I learned the name of the older bridge because during our road trip, we listened to "The Power Broker" on Audible, a book about the history of New York in which Alfred Smith figures prominently. But alas, this is named after a different Alfred Smith.  Anyway, there is only one Hudson River, and this is it.
