The grey seals of Cape Cod can weigh up to 400 kg (800 pounds), dive to 175 meters (1,560 feet), and stay submerged for as long as an hour. These seals had hauled out on a sandbar near Chatham and looked about as energetic as the human beachgoers lounging […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

If Hart Crane compared the Brooklyn Bridge to "a harp and altar, of the fury fused," then I suppose the Mario Cuomo Bridge might be a mash up of an electric guitar and some obelisks. Do you have any better ideas? Wrong answers welcome. #photography #monochrome #BelieveInFilm #Nikonos #NewYork

Two of the support towers of the bridge which New Yorkers will always call the Tappan Zee Bridge rise to 128 m (419 ft) and tilt 5 degrees off of the vertical axis. More than 7900 km (4900 miles) of cable connect the bridge deck to the eight total supporting towers.
