Have I ever told you that the Queensboro Bridge is my favorite bridge? In the world, I think, but certainly in New York. Everybody has a favorite. The suspension bridges are certainly more popular. The Queensborough is a plain old cantilever bridge, but it goes out of its way to capture some suspension-bridge slopes. And those crazy, firework-ey Saul Steinberg finials!

How about this fine cargo ship, the Caribbean.

Except, er, it’s actually a barge. See the tugboat at the back? It’s a barge, and an empty barge at that. Let me tell you, that thing was traveling!
