| Arriving in Poughkeepsie shortly before sunrise, the bridge in the foreground is the former New Haven Maybrook Line bridge that is now the "Walkway Over The Hudson" State Historic Park. I walked over that bridge in 2011, which provides great views of the mighty Hudson River! Behind that bridge is the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Mid-Hudson road bridge. |
