I shot this through a notch in the wall of Fort Condé in downtown Mobile.

Albany, NY, fairly close to their outdated bus terminal. Still a few blocks away from the Times Union Center on South Pearl Street. :)

The underside of US 20:

Walked under those many South Mall Arterial bridges many, many times.  On a rainy or snowy day, it was a great umbrella.

Three years later and I'm still trying to remember what bridge this was:

I do know that's the Hudson River, fairly close to Albany, NY. Our Southwest Airlines plane was starting to lower, before making its final approach towards BDL (Bradley International) in Windsor Locks, CT.


Now this picture is one I had captioned before, so I know this one is correct:

From L to R is US Route 20. The top to bottom road is Indiana Route 912, which is the city line for Gary (left) and Hammond (right). Picture taken on July 24, 2010. Our Southwest Airlines plane was lowering for its approach to MDW (Midway Airport) in Chicago. The view is roughly south-southwest.

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

@ NE2 and EMPIRESTATE: Thank you! I thought it was the Amtrak bridge between Rensselaer and Albany at first, but then ruled that out, knowing that the Dunn Memorial Bridge to its south would be obvious. :)

I also have photos of the U.S. span (I-81) from the same day, but I don't think any of those have been put online.

I was going to ask where this was, and guess it was I-79's crossing of the Ohio River, then I saw the name of the pic when I quoted your post, and that hunch was confirmed.
