Day 1022
As seen from Nixon Avenue
October 17th, 2014
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
what a stunning view those folks have!
You can even perceive the slight tilt of the towers to account for the curvature of the earth.
You’re right that the design of this enormous bridge had to take into account the curvature of the earth, but anything you’re seeing in the photo is just a result of the camera angle. The tilt of one tower relative to the other is imperceptible to the eye: their tops are only 1 5/8 inches farther apart than their bases.
