The sky conditions were so bad that I didn't bother stopping again in New York City on my way back home, opting to just fire a few shots through the windows while sitting in traffic on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.

On the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge into Staten Island. Costs ten bucks to cross now! I topped at least 25 dollars in tolls (All in New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts) round-trip, and that's with taking the 'long way' and surface streets in many places to avoid toll roads as much as possible.

Hartford, Connecticut earlier in the day. An impressive skyline for what (before this) I thought was a small NE city.
