On the way home from Street, MD, the northern section of the New Jersey Turnpike is my favorite driving experience. It’s the high speed blend of concrete and metal. On a hot day in late June, the city shimmers in the blue haze in the back. Maybe the question posed is how anything human or remotely organic can possibly survive in this human environment.
Beautiful. The Turnpike is awesome in that way. I like the 95 where it goes thru the Bronx and is covered by bridge after bridge after bridge, some of them with buildings on them. that’s an intense stretch, too.
we need a way to transmit smells along with images, hard to capture NJ without the odors.
It didn’t smell much yesterday. I’m probably wrong, but i think the Turnpike smells worse at night when the next layers of toxin have settled into the earth
