The Modern


And clouds. One of two planned towers on this development project. This is the dramatic effect an ultra-wide is made for, I think. Exaggerated purple again. Thanks Blogger.

Construction Site


Fort Lee again. It's a nice walk across the George Washington Bridge to get there and a lot of small town sights to see and photograph. Then there's this monstrosity. In the foreground is another construction site for even more development.

These projects may have something to do with the Chris Christie bridge scandal. They are on what was for decades acres of vacant property in prime location with easy  access to the bridge, precisely the access lanes that were closed during the scandal. There is speculation that the lane closures (which snarled traffic in Ft. Lee for days) were an attempt by Christie or his cronies to sabotage financing for the deal.

Windows










A strip of low-rise office buildings along my bike route in Ft. Lee, New Jersey. All top out at 2-3 stories in height. Glass, concrete, metal. A little composite material here and there.
