Y2Julio Posted September 28, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 28, 2009 I love the Verrazano-Narrows bridge. It's a rather majestic and beautiful bridge to photograph. I love seeing it every time I cross or walk on 5th Avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAA89 Posted October 5, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 5, 2009 Great bridge. I have friends drive me to Queens when returning from playing cricket in Staten Island and I love the part when crossing from Staten Island to Brooklyn over the bridge.
