hell gate bridge

Let your eyes follow the long, graceful incline that leads to the concrete towers flanking this sturdy steel train-bridge, a fixture over the East River since 1917. Now imagine you've just traversed the tracks, scrambling away from speeding trains and trying to keep stable on the rocky course. You are a tiny speck on the bridge, even more minuscule compared to the New York City skyline behind you and invisible from space. But here you feel huge, you are standing over the entire world, you can see for miles. You move cautiously between girders and beams, staying low in the shadows. You don't want to fall into the most treacherous waters in all of the city and you don't want anyone to see you and spoil your fun.
