East River Traffic

I’ve done other East River series, but it’s time to start a new one.  The next 12 photos were taken yesterday over a total elapsed 11 minutes!  I happened to be near South Street Seaport in hopes of catching santacon craziness there, as I did many years ago here.

Let’s start with Alice discharging aggregates, and barely recognizable, that’s Matilde the cement making vessel.

A longer shot reveals a clutch of kayakers, which I hadn’t seen while shooting.

Down by Red Hook, I see Frances approach with two barges of aggregate.

Dean Reinauer passes, pushing a deeply laden

RTC 106.

 

Those are the stacked lanes of the BQE with the Brooklyn Heights esplanade atop.

Buchanan 1 heads in the same direction as the other two units, but at a slightly greater speed than

 

Frances.

 

 

Again . . . all in 11 minutes.
