Overpass Verrazano Gowanus Belt David Tan

When I first saw this photo – by the talented Mr. David Tan – and realized that it may be the single most attractive underside of a highway overpass ever seen, I imagined some rusticated voice chime in, “Best damn ramp in the state! Uh huh…”

I believe this little park/playground area, lying underneath the ramp connecting the Verrazano Bridge/Gowanus Expressway to the Belt Parkway, also made a brief cameo in the film Saturday Night Fever.

It was taken on December 15, 2012.

Even in our increasingly digitized world, old Gutenberg and Bi Sheng would probably be pleased that so many readers still prefer words printed on paper rather than displayed on a glowing screen.

The accompanying image, captured by Bath Beach photographer David Tan, shows a store on the corner of 4th Avenue and 92nd Street over which the written word still rules.

The photo was appropriately taken using good old-fashioned Fuji Superia 200 film on October 8, 2012.
