At the Very Large Array .

In the middle of nowhere . There's 27 of these antenna out in the desert being used as a radio telescope . The antennas can be picked up and moved ( note carefully the size of the reasonably normal humans in the photo) on railroad tracks to set up different configurations of antennae . https://public.nrao.edu/

⛓️ A Suspension Bridge in Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York City, New York. ⛓️

🔎 Focal Point of View: The Williamsburg Bridge​

When it opened in 1903, the Williamsburg Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world, carrying rail, trolleys, carriages, and pedestrians. The Williamsburg Bridge was one of the last major bridges designed for the horse and carriage. By the 1920s, when the automobile became a major mode of transportation, the trolley tracks were replaced with roadways.

What this photo means to me.
Always value and appreciate and feel fortunate seeing this each year however, sign of the times though, each year I see fewer and fewer. Six last year but only one this year.
Caterpillar of orange tip butterfly on Jack-by-the-hedge seed pods. It means, next spring, I’ll experience at least one more year of this beautiful butterfly.
